Morton, I just realised that the NexStar mount
sold with the SLT102 is not the same as the one sold with the SE series SCTs.
The SE series mount and tripod do look more heavy duty but I have never used one.
I see the Alt axis is near to being over the centre of the tripod so that could limit movement near the zenith with a refractor.
Perhaps someone else can comment on these.
