Hello all,
I'm new to this forum. I post this question on SB forum but I want to post here too,as I know here are the owners of SB PMX mount.
I'm in process of deciding on the new mount for astrophotography. On top of my list is new PMX+ mount.The mount will be permanently mounted in observatory and remotely controlled from far away. My setup is 12" Newton, 3ft long and total weight including CCD is around 70lb so quite heavy and long setup. Will PMX+ be big enough for my setup? My image scale is just under 1 arcsec, so quite challenging considering size and weight of my telescope. Also my main concern is problem with loose connections in PMX (so many posts in SB forum regarding that problem). Like I said before my setup will be remotely controlled from far away and I can't afford travel every time if something will be loose inside the mount (the place where the observatory is located I visit twice a year and there is nobody there who could fix the problem). So basically the mount once setup must work and be reliable. Also I plan route 2-3 cables through the mount but I read that new MX+ have less space due to thicker cables used inside the mount compare to previous MX so I'm not sure if I will have enough space for my cables? I still have few weeks to decide about MX+.

Tom
