They don't look like high end mounts - but boy these things have stellar reputations on cloudy nights. They work consistently, are spot or better than their specifications and they are renowned for never giving their owners problems.

New buyer should be very happy!

I'm surprised no one has nibbled; from what I studied these mounts sit above a G11 and compete against the Titan and AP900.

I did some research and realized I overpriced it. Price dropped to $5500

That's only 1k more than g-11 with twice imaging payload and PE as good as an AP900
