Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Right angle spotting scope is a must. My main viewing area on my yard on a slight incline, so usually the legs are not the same length when i setup. It has an outside pouch that holds the tripod spreader--very handy.

The mount is sturdy and well designed. The unit comes with a 11lb, 5 diameter counter weight. My equipment is as follows for those wanting examples of weight orion 8 astrograph reflector at ~18 lbs.

This new vx mount has rekindled my interest and enthusiasm that bit me in 1990 and now being retired near tucson, az. The ergonomics of this mount are a substantial upgrade. Don't fail to get one.

Initial setup is fairly simple, alignment and calibration work well. Instructions are good, and are written in proper american english; as opposed to british english or something else. Adjusting it to my latitude was easy.

Cons

Do yourself a favor and google things like avx power issues. The manual instructions are woefully inadequate. Trip on that in the dark and it rips the plug out of the mount.

Shipping

Packaging/appearance

M57 was still on the chip so i centered it more finely

So i turned off autoguiding and once more used the goto functionality to bring m57 onto the chip

Competitiveness

I also own other celestron products and they all exhibit great quality and last

The nexstar 6se ota was able to fit on this mount just fine

My first night out with it i levelled the tripod and roughly got it facing north then used two stars to align and one add’l cal... Read More

Using an 110mm f7 apo refractor and my camera and guider taxes this mount a little
