It appeared in one of the recent editions of AstronomyTechnologyToday. It looks pretty awesome. It has no appreciable periodic error cause of the steel friction-roller reduction gears.

Anything in specific you want to know?

Not bad really for a 65kg photographic load mount.
Shame I don't have the money.:sadeyes:

that 6000Eu includes 19% VAT, which I think we are exempt from - we still pay GST though. Makes it look pretty good value if that is the case.

The mount is incredible. I worked with Lucas originally on getting the SiTech integrated with the mount. The PE is incredibly smooth, the weight it can take is quite amazing, a C14 wouldn't even make it breathe heavy. He ships them well packed in a wooden crate and is very good to deal with.
If I had the money right now I would buy it over any mount in the same price range without hesitation.
What scope are you thinking of putting on it?

Talk to Olly or Yves about daily use, they are at an obs in France and have been using one for a long time. He calls his 'beyond paramount' :)

BTW it is 5700 EU with the SiTech, and I would go it rather than the servocat setup. That is 4800EU if you can avoid the 19% tax.

Yep I'd agree with the SiTech - have that fitted to my G11 & also to the Titan - very good performance as well as mount modelling is a breeze :thumbsup:
