The two mounts I have been keeping an eye on from Europe ( in case any second hand ones come along). Both are friction drive (no PE Error) with encoders on both axis.

The fore mentioned Mesu 200, can lift 100Kgs and is accurate to 0.5 arcsec (guided) and costs $AUS 9K plus freight, also EQ6 tripod compatible.

Also the Gemini G35F can lift 45Kg with the same accuracy and costs $AUS 8K plus freight.

Of course there are other criteria to make a decision on besides weight and accuracy e.g. ease of use, tech support, user base, avail of spare parts etc.

My 2 cents
