Hi Cliff,

Yes, the MiniTower Pro is a great little mount. Easy to set up and surprisingly accurate if care is taken with levelling at the outset.

Mine is used exclusively for the regular outreach sessions I am involved in. It will often have a Vixen ED103S refractor aboard. Hence the need for the wooden pier riser to avoid hitting the tripod legs.

The SkyFi works a treat. It is fully compatible with the MiniTower Pro and I use it in conjunction with Sky Safari Pro on on all of my Apple devices. The wifi network is robust - I cannot recall a drop out. I am not sure about it’s range.

Being able to ditch the hand controller is liberating!
