So far I love the mount. I have had the good fortune to play with a few mounts in the past & the EQ8's PE is as smooth as I've seen in anything..
(EQ6, G11, Titan, EM200)
For now, the only criticism I have is that the locks on the axes aren't as positive as I would like. When I move anything (guider or camera orientation) I get some slipping in RA &/or DEC; even with the locks tight. This isn't an issue if everything is as I want it, but a PITA when I need to change something.
Its early days yet, but overall its a 'thumbs up' from me.  |
the only mount not on my list is the EM200.
