mount choce
As Atmos said Mesu 200.
I upgraded to one and since then the mount has been a joy to use with a 2415 MM FL
'scope, as others have said, here and on Stargazers Lounge, you can just forget about the mount. Lucas Mesu is good and prompt to answer questions before and after purchase.
.
With the magic Sidereal servo controller 11 the go tos and tracking are spot on.
I build a sky map using CDC and have no need to plate solve after polar alignment with Sharpcap (verified by Darve drifts). PHD2 guiding with an off axis guider is pleasingly accurate and the calibration of Phd is a breeze.I have the non split Mesu (as has Billdan on this forum). Both of us routinely get tracking RMS of around .4 seconds, I have had as low as .33 seconds with this long FL scope.
I tried a Losmandy g11 with Gemini 2 but the Mesu with Sidereal puts it to shame.
Cheers
Chris
