Maxium tube length for Ioptron Mini Tower Pro

Hello

Just before I go and buy one of these mounts,does it take a 900 mm tube length? The specs give load which is fine,no tube lengths are mentined,but I had the thought the tube length may be an issue .

Any ideas ?


Cheers

Dennis

I used an 8" F4 on my Mini Tower no problems. I think they are 900 or 1000mm long.

Hey thank you ,

How do you find the goto, is it easy set up? Have seen some EQ mounts,even with three star alignment unless you're well polar aligned ,not good

I found the goto very good. All you need to know to get accurate alignment is here.
