I know that the mounts are new Skywatcher mounts, i think the HEQ5 Pro has a new design, as does the EQ6, and there is a newer, even more lightweight version, something like a HEQ3-Pro coming out soon also.

Yeah don't be such a pedant Duncan!!

But its all rumours

Maybe the all new brand is Bosma which is now available from Astronomics in the US.

[gazza83 (Gary)]

Yes, I'm also guessing Bosma. Interested to see what the price will be for the maks ...

Ioptron is listing Andrews as an authorised supplier in the current Aust. sky and telescope mag.

[Moon (James)]

Confirmed, it's Bosma. The message has been updated...
