Hi everyone,

I should also make comment regarding the Celestron mount
Rory uses in the shoot out video.

It is all so very true what he shows.

I own and `enjoy` the same mount,
a Celestron Advanced GT.

It sometimes has a mind and a will of it`s own.

Not to mention the sound it makes as it slews.

I kind of use the noise to my advantage now.

It gives the neighbours notice that I am out using my equipment,
and they tend to limit their outside lighting.

When the mount works, it works !!

Lesson is, do not loose power to it while in use,
it needs to be fully recalibrated, again.....

I use mine with a Celestron Sky-Portal wifi unit, and Sky-Portal app.

Takes away a lot of the usual setup info required in a handset.

Glad you enjoyed the links.

Thanks to Bill for sharing his find.

Paul.
