Well you are just the man i need!

A couple of questions if you don't mind?

1. Is the mount for visual use or imaging?
2. If you do use it for imaging, what is it like tracking and guiding?
3. Are there any shortcomings of the mount that you have found...things that could have been done better, or are just plain annoying?

Did you make a timber tripod, or metal one?

Cheers
Adam
