A Mighty (Gondwana) Mount!

Finally had some opportunities to use our 6" scope with it's new Gondwana table-top mount; it is brilliant!

We were using it to view Jupiter, Mars and Saturn with higher magnifications and its ease-of-use really stood out!

It also doubles as a stylish home decoration as the timber stain is almost identical to our bedroom furniture where it is displayed/stored. This will become a family heirloom!

- Very smooth and easy to nudge/move to follow objects.
- Very portable!
- Looks fantastic!

I think our Orion StarBlast is feeling a little nervous now ; once I measure the mount I'm going to see what sort of storage box I can get at Bunnings so the scope can come on holidays with us! (We already have a galvanised box with foam for the OTA).

Alex - You are a legend!
