Yep that's the way. In the middle of an economic crisis increase your prices. They should be dropping prices to increase volume.
Don't say that if they increase their volume then we'd never get our mounts.
I see on their optional accessories they now have a portable power supply, but at $600 min then the postage i think i'll look at other options. Think it's just a simple battery pack by the looks. just got the postage from them $130us extra.
Alignment scope is superb on mounts like Tak NJP but you have to know how to use them. Because southern pole stars are dim that is harder.
Mike Sidonio mastered it and as a result he can polar align his scope super accurately in minutes.
But the PMX really deserves the use of T-Point. Its a bit of a learning curve and software setup but it is a pretty amazing piece of software that ensures extremely accurate polar alignment.
That $169 sure does cost a lot.
The adapter plate costs another 90 odd to post if u order it seperatley as i was about to do that today till i saw what the postage was
Yeah, some cable. Well, I made an extention cable for my ST10, done properly, wasnt hard, and the ST10 stoped working. Voltage drop or something. The SBIG cable will work at least, however they do that.
Just out of interest somebody on the SB forum has posted a picture with the PME, AP 1200, and the MX, ( 3 mount line up). I did not picture in my mind the actual size of the MX, I have download the tech drawings with the dimensions but just using a ruler doesn't do it justice.
Great news Peter, I guess you will be the first in Australia to get yours?

Maybe not. Just checked the tracking site for UPS and see that for some reason, the consignment has left Sydney and gone south - to Melbourne- not north to Brisbane.
Very nice of u to give us all a tour , hope it doesn't take to long to get to us here in Perth
Also maybe it's just spreading the rain etc over more of Australia ??????
Hope u get it Monday !
Brilliant. It must be mine. I will tell you all about it when I get it

Trevor I think you need to be a member of the forum to get images.
Interesting to see one of these compared to the PME. It is nearly as high by the looks and nearly the same dimensions. Even though its capacity is less the size is similar. If you have not seen a PME up close then this PMX is going to give you a shock. The PME is physically monsterous. I did not think the MX would be of similar proportions. I bet you say Holy crap the first time you open the box.

I plan to do a comparison image against my Titan when I get the thing here. The capacity is aboutnthe same (the Titan is a 100 Lb mount and the PMX 90 Lbs) - and I remember when I first saw the Titan my reaction was right up there in the Holy Crap range.
