One more thing, the add states that the max capacity of the mount is 13kgs, this is the first time I've ever seen a meade mount explicitly have its max weight defined, thats a heafty 30 lbs... pretty good.!

Better that old people should die of talk than to have young people die in war.

That's more than enough to carry any two of the OTAs that I already have

Made up my mind. I'm going to buy it if there's one left when I get there tomorrow morning.

I have one (for illuminated astrometric) for my 12" scope and ended up having to run it off the scope computer as, like yourself, I just ended up using a mountain load of batteries from times I forgot to turn it off. :lol:
Interesting what you say about the weight of your scope, some mounts specify the weight as excluding the counterweight, I dont know if thats the case here.
So did anyone get one, what is it like ???
