For visual or astro-photography? A-P web site said for Mach1: "Recommended for: Astro-Physics and similar fast refractors up to our 160 mm f7.5 Starfire EDF, 8-11" SCTs and 6-8" Maks." Peter ---In

So sort of curious how well an AP 160 does on a Mach 1...Iknow not an "ideal" situation but workable? I think the OTA is 27#,the mount's capacity is 45#...looking at the portability factor primarily.

Temp driver links working fine Ray. Thanks. Wade
