Trevor,

it is good to consider a SB mount too. I have two of their mounts. A PME and a PMX. The PME is second hand and the PMX was new. Both mounts have had the odd issue but generally they are bullet proof and provide excellent performance year after year. Servicing is a breeze with them and if you need to do any real work on them, it can all be done easily with instructions from SB.

The mounts perform to a very high standard. Pointing can be exceptional if you work hard on the PA and pointing model. Guiding is also great with 4-10 second guiding possible at 0.84-0.94" per pixel imaging with work to the PE and using Protrack. I have also used them at tighter resolutions but that was with the use of a AOX for guiding. I typically do over 600 hours a year per mount. I keep up the service regime and this ensures the mounts will last a very long time.

I am sure the MYT is just a good as any other SB mount and it is very portable.
