Congratulations Barry
It is very solid mount and no doubt you will get many good years of use from it. I would also be interested to hear your experiences with the setup and on-going use given that we have a similar setup.
Are you planning to control the mount from the SynScan handcontroller or via a PC? I wanted to control the mount via the PC, so I also got the USB cable for the mount (

The software took a little bit of time to understand and setup, but it is nice to control everything from the PC (Mount, Camera, Planetarium Software etc..).
Looking forward to hearing how you go with the setup..
Cheers,
Mark
