Took delivery of my AM5 mount last week and last night I used it to look at Saturn, which was close to zenith. I normally mount my AAP on the scope. Whilst awaiting for an adapter from Bintel, I chose to temporarily use the adapter on the mount for my ASI Air Plus. Big mistake
Whilst in the middle of focussing I crushed the USB cables going into the AAP and the mount was unable to be parked back to the home position.
I had to dismantle the entire OTA and mount from the tripod in order to retrieve the AAP. I then used the hand controller to park the mount back to home.
Fortunately, no damage done to any of the equipment but a warning not to use the mounting bracket on the mount. It will be removed today.
