I’d say the Japanese are conservative and it can definitely do 22kgs for imaging with carefully tuning and balancing!

Yes, but Takahashi is Japanese and it gives two values.

Last I measured I still had RA tracking rate issues and I had readings between +/- 3 arc seconds to +/- 5 – a few days later

But my gut was the SS2K was a raw powerhouse of a brute (at times poorly documented)
|
I know, I have it (with a Vixen GP). The french documentation is good... hum, I think, I have never seen the original documentation. In fact it has not been writen by Vixen but by Medas, the importer for Switzerland and France.
In fact I was hoping I could use the ss2k with the New Atlux, but it seems that the electronic has completly changed.
I have sent a message to the Vixen Yahoo list to have more informations about the Starbook

If I was to step up from this mount – it would be to a Losmandy Titan, a Tak EM400 or 500 or a Paramount ME
|
In fact the EM400, was one of my first options but it's a little bit too expensive for me, especialy in Switzerland where a EM200 is around 2000 US $ more expensive than in USA.
The Paramount, I have the chance to use one of them. I'm a member of a society which own a Paramount ME :
