Mach 1 awesomeness!
Michael Kelly
Hello all,
I recently purchase a second hand Mach1 from a member here who assured me was in perfect condition….well let me tell you, that was an understatement!
I’ve been waiting patiently for a PlaneWave CDK 12.5 and on the prowl for an appropriate horse for it to ride. After speaking with George, he said the Mach1 should be up for it. He told me precisely all the appropriate goodies I needed since it was just the mount. Well my new chunk of American made awesomeness arrived on Thursday and I made a beeline to Cherry Springs Pa for the weekend with some friends. In similar fashion to AP thoroughness, the PW came with every single detail attended to, including all the adapters for my specific camera.
Well after reading the daily Mach2 torture test emails, I can attest that this 10year old mount is still a straight up rockstar! 60lbs of ‘scope and stuff’ she was a tracking machine!! Fortunately a friend had an extra weight since apparently I didn’t have quite enough, and this was still a tiny bit ‘scope heavy’.
Roland, George, Team AP all around….positively amazing piece of gear. I am proud to be an owner of an AP mount for sure!!
Best,
Michael Kelly
PS, thank you Patrick Spencer!

Got this and if SGP didn’t spaz out at 1:48am like apparently it did to all users, could have had another 4hrs of data!

Beautiful setup and very impressive load, with some nice results! It looks so compact and portable. I keep hoping to catch one for sale to replace the bulky CGEM-DX I try to use for my classes. This confirms that it will handle any of the scopes I’d load it with. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures with it!

Well done, Michael! And if your Mach 1 is handling that size scope and the massive counterweight, it’s definitely The Little Mount That Could!

Nice to see another AP user with his mount on a Berlebach Planet tripod. I have my 155 EDF/600E on one of them and my APM 100mm binoculars on another. I’ll need something a bit more robust, though for the 1600GTO that’s arriving this winter...
