I look forward to seeing your images with this.

Hi Tim, no AE's and I have the pre installed factory PEC recording turned off, while polar alignment was just done via the new AP right angled polar scope using my own knowledge of where the exact SCP is.
I ordered the AP1600 from OPT as they had some in stock, so once my other ordered bits came in, it was only a short wait before the shipment arrived but sadly a couple of pieces were missing including the counterweight shaft, lost in transit...so I had to wait another three months for AP to make a new one and OPT to get it to me, plus I also had a wrong dovetail sent to me
sooo, it has been 6 months since deciding to get a new mount and actually having it up and running...better late than never
Mike
