Hi everybody !
I'm Julien, from Switzerland
I have a few questions, especialy for g__day. I have read your Atlux review.
In fact I'm interesting by this mount but I'm in doubt for some points :
- The Vixen website says that the maximum loading weight is 22 kg. But what is the maximum if it's used for astrophotography ?
- Vixen gives, for the PE, two value : +/-7" without PEC and +/-3,5" with PEC. I have found a site (in french) where several PE are logged :
http://demeautis.christophe.free.fr/ep/pe.htm There are three graphics for the Atlux, two are good (between 5" and 10") but one is around 10" or 15". So. is the Atlux quality constant enough to be sure to have +/-7" (or better) ? g__day what is the PE of your Atlux ?
- Last point, the hand controller. The Atlux is now sold with the "StarBook" system. I have read a comparison between the SS2K and the Starbook here :
http://www.groupeastronomiespa.be/SSvsSB_V1.02.doc.pdf It's seems that a lot of options that were present on the SS2K have disapeared. And for some options you have to pay an extra.
