TOA-150 on top, for now, until sold. After that? TBC. I'm building my setup from the ground up, starting with mount. Imaging is the long term goal.
Cheers.

Oooooh a new, improved and beefed up AP1200
Will it be permanently mounted? I recon the illuminated right angled polar scope is a must have accessory, the polar scope in my NJP is amazingly accurate and is all I have ever used to get within 2' of the pole or better (enough for
10min unguided at around 1200mm FL) in just minutes and I am sure the AP polar scope is just as accurate plus the much better viewing angle would make PA a breeze! Sure beats the complicated PA routines so many PME users seem to have to go through to get accurate PA
