An AP1200GTO and a 12" F5 Newt
I call it the Beast of Tinagra! You'll need to be a star trek fan to know what that is! My son Oliver helped me lift it. About 50 lbs and it needed 1 30 lb and 2 18lb counterweights. Using the counter weight recommendations from AP. |

The scope was sticking out the top by like 8" so I had to jack up the deck 12" so it does not hit anywhere in the dome! The AP1200 throws it around like a toy! I have it fairly well balanced but it will need some tweaking, plus my camera does not come to focus. That was a fun discovery at midnight. LOL
