Astromount

[Odd Thomas]

Has anyone on here got or used an Astromount from AWT Technology? I see they have introduced a new mount but it looks like they have discontinued the original Astromount. Just wondering if it wasn't a success.

Cheers.

It looks like they are using a similar principal to the CEM25/CEM60

It does indeed look very much like it.

I'm slightly disappointed as I was half planning an original astromount for my obsy project. Their new English mount doesn't  look a patch on it. The position of the counter weight/balance shaft looks like it will induce unnecessary forces and transfer them along the main shaft/axis. I'm sure they know better than me though! Still I cant see that one carrying my 6" f15 frac.
