I installed my Planewave CDK17 and Paramount ME mount today.
Rally gave me some helpful advice. It needs more counterweights believe it or not so I will sorting that out next:

I also got a Tak 4 inch reducer to work on my TEC using Precise Part adapters. I am using it now. It gives F5.25 at 180mm APO quality.
I would not be surprised if this is the only one in the world. I am not aware of anyone else imaging at F5.25 with 180mm APO aperture.
Its like Takahashi finally made a 180mm FSQ!
