Hi AlexN,
Yes it is a very substantial mount designed and built by me. It incorporates very fine adjustment in azimuth and altitude and is very accurately polar aligned. The polar axis spins in thrust bearings at the load bearing end with double row ball bearings at the rear end. The shafts are solid 2.5" stainless steel. The mount is so good that when I manually advance the filter wheel I can start the next exposure as quickly as I can get back to the keyboard of my computer, as soon as I remove my hand from the filter wheel the image is rock steady.
Regards
Trevor
