Russell, is that balanced with both weights down low?
Hi Robin,
It isn't balanced, scope went on for a photo and then came off, hoping to do real testing tonight. Will need to lower the pier ... That much I know. It is very solid . I hope you sort out your delivery soon.
Looking good David. Did you get it from Bintel or elsewhere and was the price similiar to what Bintel is saying on their page? I haven't done anything with my setup in the past 30 months, so not really looking to buy gear, but enjoying others unboxings instead. I haven't been on here in ages.

i got mine from Myastroshop - Steve Massey. Claude was too rude and Bintel a little slow, but i bought my titan from them so i decided to share the love around
Managed to take it outside and got more familiar with it. It certainly is strong, and heavy, a G11 feels puny in comparison. The sound it made while slewing to a target was pretty much the machines in Terminator Salvation.
I can't tell you how it performs / tracks. someone else will have to, I've got all sorts of issues going on with my ota / focuser, coma corrector / oag etc ... I'm a little way off as ive gone with new everything. And my moonlite arrived damaged.
Going through the manual I noticed that the hand set can control dslr exposures, handy.
Hats off to you guys as you really are importing back most of the iron that we exported to china. Well done and enjoy your mounts. Don't drop those counterweights as they look heavy.

Be curious to see if this is a big mount beater in terms of performance and reliability. Might help drive down the cost of the more well known brands (paramount, astro-physics, takahashi, etc), which would only be good for the community imho.
