it’s one of those special obstructed, mirror based fracs. Only disadvantage is you cannot see the space vampires.

Cripes, that is a big lad! What's the OTA weight? 

It is not too bad, it is 17kg, no rings needed which lowers weight, the dovetail is attached through the tube to internal ‘half rings’ fixings.

Yes it is the APM AZMaxload (I think is it’s full title), I have the one with encoders, I am a Nexus DSC fan so mostly just use all/az push to for all my scopes now. I actually put a Rowan saddle on it so I could attach the Rowan handle, there was not a ‘native’ option for the APM mount strangely.

Did you retrofit those encoders or did they come installed?  I purchased mine before such an option was available but would be nice to add it possible.

Hi, I actually had a non encoder one but was unsure about adding encoders to it, so I am moving it on and bought another one with the encoders direct from APM.
