"That's not a mount. This is a mount...!"

[Jamie]

I think that someone on SGL actually has one of those mounts...

[Beulah]

Talk about compenstating for something!! :eek::eek:

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Nice one, still doesn't beat the mount of the largest scope I have ever operated

Nice little grab and go set up there

[Mr Spock]

I might have to think about one of these.

Though if I do win the lotto €28k is just chump change...

[Euan]

That's ridiculous

Custom made pier as well, you really would have to dig deep into your wallet if you ever moved that thing unless you were at the same latitude

I like the design though, forget about pier flips!!

Wasnt there a guy from Holland on here recently that had one?. It arrived from ASA all chipped and scratched.

I think his was smaller though.

That thing looks like part of an oil refinery.

No, apart from Takahashi mounts and telescopes, and Sky-Watcher mounts and telescopes, and...and...

[Peter Drew]

We've got an Ealing-Beck Educator series asymetric mount at the Astronomy Centre, makes that one look like an EQ1.

[Marmite]

Interesting! Is it direct drive, or does it still use gears?

[NickH]

Wow...that is some beastie

I just got talked out of buying an AP1200 for £4000 on ebay (QMD version) so will hang fire for something later this year ..
