Hi,
The mount is about 4 years old, the only work done on it was replace the electronics (after I fried it) and tune RA/DEC backlash using the supplied adjustment method, no hypertune or regrease.
The major improvement seems to have come from the new ZWO multi star guiding routine and ASIAir plus (I fried the pro when I fried the mount).
Usual Imaging Rig, guestimate around 14kg
Esprit 120 + flattener - 9.2kg
Mounting plate and rings 2.0 kg
ASI 2600 MC - 0.7 kg
Bader Vario 60 mm Guidescope + ZWO Helical Focuser, ASI 120 MM, 1.5 kg
ASIAirPlus + Pocket Powerbox ASI Auto Focuser, 0.5 kg
