<P>Hi Ian</P><P> Nice project</P><P> Should find the views to be as good as a 5" refractor.</P><P> Louie ( Atalas ) used to have a MT130 and found it to be better than his Tak 4" APO.</P><P> I think the reason the old mount was not working so well is someone at the club decided that if you have a very long counter wieght shaft you only need a small counter wieght , quite true but makes for a poor mount.</P><P> Did the mount survive to fires.</P><P> </P><P>Zane</P>
