Thanks for the alert
It’s also on the Skywatcher site , Bintel site ($4,999 ) and others
This mount has been in development for a while as I saw it on some UK and Euro Astro sites (as not available) back in 2020
I also pushed a few suppliers for a 32kg or 35kg a while ago to bridge the huge gap between the EQ6-R and EQ8-R mounts ( I hypothetically called it an EQ7-R )
Damn, I should have held off a year as I bought the EQ8-R back in April this year , haven’t used it much due to weather ( my payload is about 22kg )
I really like the drive and spring loaded worms on this new mount (on paper at least )
I assume it’s compatible with EQMOD like he other SW mounts
Time will tell how it performs
Cheers
