AP 1200 gto 12” zen maksutov

[stuy]

Finally got the AP 1200 up and running thought I’d need a few counter weights but  the weights that came with mount will suffice !  A few quid saved there 😳 impressed with quality of the AP Mount

its carrying the 12” zen maksutov  with ease 

regards all stu

Has the wrapping shown benefits ?

Yes it’s the best thing I’ve ever done ! having used large maks for many years I had my doubts , BUT what a difference I can start viewing almost straight away 

simple idea but gives massive rewards

I wasn’t familiar with Zen maks. Looks very nice indeed.

Romano Zen makes a high end optical telescopes in Italy he used to make complete tube assembly, but now just makes optics , his optics   Have been tested by Wolfgang rohr in Germany at  high strehl values 99. Etc .. they don’t come up often

I am guessing that is NOT a grab and go scope lol, cant imaging what that mount with those weights must weigh in at, beautiful monster otherwise.

The mount and pedestal are a thing of beauty!

Not familiar with the scope but I guess that's even better?

12" Mak, sounds nice
