Sorry I’m late responding to this.
I have been using this mount for about six months with an L bracket carrying a PST and a shelyak spectrograph.
It works perfectly every time, automatically finds and tracks the sun, and with a metal L bracket holds up the payload very securely.

Hey guys. I removed the arguing posts. There’s no place for that here.
Cloudy Nights has much better arguing so take it over there.

No, I dont want any private messages explaining who’s fault it is, just be nice. We’re all professionals and academics here.

We raised $15,720 in 30 days and this will keep the program going for at least another six months.
