Any Australian users of the ASA DDM mount?

Hi,
I am a new user of an ASA DDM85 mount in northern NSW and was wondering if there are any other users of this mount in Australia I could link up with for assistance and knowledge.
It is an awesome mount but very alien to what I have been used to and some local knowledge would be very welcome.
Thanks, Alan

Hey Alan,

I’ve got a DDM60 that I’ve been using for a number of years. It’s a great piece of kit but you are right, it does have a bit of a lurking curve from a “traditional” mount.

Hi Atmos,
Thanks for the reply. May I email you privately occasionally if I have some extremely newbie questions?
Thanks

Hi there, I also have the DDM85 but I still haven't used it yet. I got it 6 months ago and it's still in the box! I've only just gotten a pier and I'm waiting for the builder to get back to me re roll off roof obsy. To be honest I'm more than a little intimidated by the mount! I'd love to get into contact with you some time.
