Takahashi EM400 in | EM200 out
I was finnaly able to install the Takahashi EM400 inside the dome. A dedicated pier adapter was made and everything is up and running
Check out a few images below (FLICKR). I will do a first polar alignment later on today

Re: Takahashi EM400 in | EM200 out
Nice.
I like how on the 400 all the bits are tucked away neatly.
On my NJP the control box and sockets look like an afterthought.

Re: Takahashi EM400 in | EM200 out
Congratulates with this new beautiful mount, Pedro!
It is easy to buy a new equipment living in such a place. No law about poor weather as the compliment for a new equipment purchase!
BTW. Do you plan to change also the pier for a bigger in diameter one?

Re: Takahashi EM400 in | EM200 out
Fogot to ask another question: do you plan to move also to a larger aperture telescope?

Re: Takahashi EM400 in | EM200 out
Thanks gyus
I used the EM400 for the first time this morning and it is great. I did a first polar alignment yesterday
Very HEAVY, great tracking, very responsive. It works like a charm.
Valery, I plan to use it with all my refractors including the TMB175. With the previous EM200 it was difficult to use the big TMB. I do not plan to change the pier. Vibrations are limited to 3s
