Hi all,

This mount has actually been around a while (Jan announcement I think) an has shipped in the US. Controversy rages in the Yahoo group about the carrying capacity depite that, certainly there are some users out there with big weights on it.

As ever with new products caution - let somebody else bust their chops on v1 especially as Vixen's (English language) customer support is diabolical/non-existant. There are some limitations in the starbook too, for example PEC though present does not save between sessions - you have to retrain each time you turn the power off...the dispay is upside down for S.Hemisphere users etc... Having said that no product is perfect and the Vixen mechanicals are excellent so I think, for the money, this knocks an EQ6 for six....that is why I have a Sphinx.
