Mike... this one's got your name all over it:)

$1150 wow great buy for anyone wanting a GOTO mount. Mels system is very good, and works with ALt-Az scopes aswell as EQ mounts. The software is freely available from Mels website http://www.bbastrodesigns.com so upgrading is just a download away. (also anyone with problems can email Mel and you usually get a quick response, or join the scope_drive yahoo group)

Good luck to anyone who buys this, certainly is an afordable way to go GOTO.

It is always the way...:doh: i just spent the good part of that asking price on a bundle of imaging and other bits, but i would have prefered that goto mount first anyday:bashcomp:

Hi,
unfortunately the pending sale has fallen through. After asking me to post it as sold, prospective buyer was unable to come to look at it, so it is now back on the market.......
