I've owned all of these mounts (AP 400, 600; EM-200) and I would say the 600

is closer to the 200. I also own a 5" APO (Tak FC-125), and the 600 GOTO was really needed for it. I think you could go casual visual observing with the 5" APOs on the AP 400, but you would be pushing it. A 4" is really at home on the AP 400, or Tak EM-10. A 5" is really at home on the AP 600, or EM-200. Ron Wodaski

A-P 400gto I have the opportunity to purchase an A-P 400gto, and I am wondering how stable it is as compared to a Takahashi EM-200. Although I hope eventually to acquire a 130 Starmaster, if my number ever comes up, I am also thinking about a Takahashi FS128 or perhaps even a CN-212 both of which Takahashi recommends be used with the EM-200. I am interested only in visual not photographic use. Perhaps the 600gto is more directly comparable to the EM-200? Any informed views out there? -- Eric Cafritz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Big Groups = big savings @ beMANY! http://click.egroups.com/1/4112/5/_/3615/_/960566963/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
