Do you think I'll need a field flattener with the Stowaway and a full frame DSLR? -jg

Wow, and I thought my Mak 10 was undermounted on the 1100. ??? J Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note9, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone

Ok, I thought some new features were being added to the other keypads. - J

Roland, Is this drift mode in the keypad updates for the 1100 and 1600 mounts? - J

If I had a permanent spot, I'd go immediately for one of those Pier-Tech adjustable piers. The new models look very robust and the flexibility of eye position would be excellent. Alas, I am stuck lift

Why not get a friend or that special someone in your life to help you lift the tube assembly? Or even better, buy one of those motorized, height adjustable piers and skip the friend entirely. ???

All AP would really have to do is just bring back the Mach 1. No design work necessary, tools exist. As has been previously said by George, it's all about manufacturing capacity at AP. They seem very

A new small mount from AP would be great. Sadly, there are not enough weeks remaining in my life to wait for one. Just the whisper of a notification list at a conference would get 300 people on it ins

Mark, Pay the Piper. Buy the 1100. Sell the G11, you'll not buy another mount again. And if you don't like the 1100, it's an easy aftermarket sell. - j

But sadly, as soon as a notification list opens. Every ap fan boy has to get on it. Production fills, and those who could really use it are waiting years. Make no mistake, I'm a fan boy. By the time t

Some thoughts on small, portable mounts. The ultimate in portability and load carrying capability is the Rainbow Astro RST-135. Not inexpensive, but innovative with lots of potential. For short focus

Just match pixel size to focal length. High qe camera helps too. Some of the new backilluminated cmos cameras allowing binning would be excellent. J Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note9, an AT&T 5G Evolu

Definitely try taking an image without your flattener and shooting without any filter? May be a process of elimination, backtracking the cause. If you have or can borrow a different camera, I would al

And there is a hefty state tax to pay on the purchase. Most folks if they are going to spend this much on a telescope mount will gladly pay more for it. Yes, the costs do add up. Sales tax, shipping,

Its fairly easy to set up chrome remote on your notebook at the telescope so you can operate all pc functions from the 2nd pc in the warm and comfortable home. -jg Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note9, a
