Richard, As a former user of a Losmandy G11 (10+ yrs), I can attest to your comments below. In one case (G11), the mount works against you and one must always look for workarounds and patches. In the

It surely looks that way. I just bought a new Jeep, bit more essential than a mount. I understand that from time to time used AP mounts are available on Astromart. I should start monitoring them.
