Hi Fox,
Unfortunately I think your NP127 will be far too long for the M0 and a bit heavy, you’re correct in thinking it would be better suited to the Muno. I have a similar sized ED120 and wouldn’t consider putting it on the M0.
The M0 is great for AP with a small refractor, but it needs to be guided - the advantage is that guiding is very smooth. I rarely set mine up in AltAz mode as it’s a bit of a pain to switch between modes - it’s not simple as with AzEq6. Without guiding, targets tend to drift off so I don’t think the M0 is as good at AltAz as advertised.
Also, if the wifi is appealing with the M0 then prepare to be disappointed. Connections are very unstable and can’t be relied upon particularly with a precious load on board.
Both the M0 and T-pod tripod are beautifully machined and it is great as a small AP Mount in EQ mode with USB control.
