Bintel displaying a PME in ther window - big isn't it?
I had to drop off SWMBO and my daughter to star city today, so I thought I pop in to see Bintel - haven't been there in ages. Blow me down they have a PME on a tripod holding a 12" newt on top. It looked beautiful!
I hadn't fully realised how large these mounts were, nor how small even a 12" newt looks on one. The red sure does look attractive - though touching the mount the casing seems quite thin, it flexs slightly when I expected it to be firm.
Can't wait until they have a PMX in stock. They posited the EQ7 or 8 will come out this year. After this the next big thing is they expec to see mounts with belt drives and / or much higher quality encoders - good enough to give sub arc second tracking capabilities within two years.
T'was a fun visit!
