Well gents....................I had the 8 inch newtonian on the mount last night.
Vibrations were easily seen with a slight breeze at 250X on Jupiter.
Touch the focusser and all hell breaks loose.
If I need to start building piers,buying or modifying focussers etc. to steady a pissy 8 inch newtonian, then I have truly wasted my money..........this is not for me.
Shane,...........I would like to return the mount.....even at a loss despite the fact that it's virtually brand new and unused.
I'm not happy with it,will never be happy with it and will never be able to afford a Titan or AP1200 as a mount..........that's ridiculous.
If I had known that it would come to this and was aware of the mount's limitations,and the reality of massive mount requirements, I would never had gone through with the purchase.
