Hi has any body heard of an em3 mount ime told this is one .

Thats not a good picture but that looks like an EQ 3-2 mount

It might be in the Eq3 class but unfortunately the picture isn't clear enough to tell.

I agree, the picture is not very clear, but closest would be the EQ3-2 in my opinion.

I don't think it is: I had a play with the picture to get it a bit clearer:

It's not one I recognise. An EQ3-2 would have the DEC lock lever on the side of the housing facing the camera.

Edit: Also, that mount doesn't look like it would take a bore-scope.

Possibly the same mount as supplied with the Seben 1400/150.

Well spotted, sir! Seben call it an EQ3. I've actually had the misfortune to have to use one of these in the past (a scope belonging to one of my students); I must have blotted it from memory!

@usher4566: Avoid. Horrid thing, usually used to mount an unpleasant combination of a shaving mirror with a weird sort of flowerpot.

That barely looks substantial enough to compare with an EQ2, let alone and EQ3-2.
