About 15 years ago I bought a couple of cards of those stick on glowing stars and planets. Spent a few hours sticking them to the ceiling and walls of my grandaughters bedroom, configured as a view of the southern hemisphere. It impressed her greatly.

I can't do it to my room now as it would require climbing a ladder. Something I avoid as much as possible.

Actually I bought the mount to learn about the synscan and see if I could make the polar scope into a useful addition that can be viewed on a small screen. The manual is devoid of any useful information on characteristics.

When I have finished playing the mount will probably go to my grandson to further his astronomy interest.
