I am wondering how this mount performs. I am looking to setup a 2nd more lightweight rig to use a 300mm F4 lens or perhaps a small refractor and full frame mirrorless cameras.
So far I have looked at Skywatcher Star Adventurere but it seems not good enough for 5 minute exposures at 300mm.
Looked at Fornax LighTrack ii it seems good although again not sure if it can handle a 300mm lens and get round stars at 5 minutes.
Looking also at high end Japanese mini mounts like Unitec Swat 350 and Toast TP-2 Pro. These are small like a Polarie but high end and low PE like a PMX. Again not 100% confident of round stars at 5 minutes but it may come down to the tripod and attachment accessories. Also they are expensive like $1500 to $2,000 + for a setup. But they are small, light , portable and high-tech.
