Morton, it isn't listed in my signature

It is the Sky View Alt AZ mount. Even with the two JMI motors, it's only redeeming features are that it was cheap and easy to set up. It just can't take too much weight, but then it isn't meant to either. Furthermore, the JMI motors have a slight lag time before they move, which is a little annoying.

But Morton, I tend to be a little fussy about such things, so take that with a grain of salt

Just have to get through until Feb. I can wait, even if impatiently. Mind you, I don't actually have a choice

Cheers Peter
