Hey Guys,
Which manufacturer and subsequent dealer have you found to provide the best service broadly speaking? Myastroshop and Bintel are the two main ones I have been looking at (some others online are selling very old stock -
long discontinued telescope models for instance - even older than the LXD75 SN10AT I have (ps. the mount on this is ****. very shaky tube. It was my first "real" telescope, now I am looking for something better! I don't like the single bolt pushing against the dovetail plate versions. I will not buy any mount with that. I like the dual bolts that go through the mount, not against the dovetail plate, and when tightened a large clamp like structure encloses the dovetail plate - much more stable and safe securing the tube across an area rather than a single point!)
What are your thoughts on these mounts (they both have the attachment type I like...)
