Hi I looked at some youtube videos of this mount and it seems like a good mid level mount. Just wanted to ask here if anyone is using this mount in Singapore and how does it work.

Re: William Optics Low Latitude Base

I havent heard anything.. all I saw from some youtubers was that the wedge may allow additional 1-2 degrees below the markings, but wont come down to 1deg.

WTB : Celestron 8 Edge HD

Hi

If you have Celestron 8 Edge HD or 9.25 Edge HD to let go, please drop me a message at nine4Five6 Seven4One4. I have been totally blown over by the views from standard Celestron 8 and would like to upgrade.

cheers
Andy

Re: AZ Mount Options - Nexstar Evolution vs Ioptron Az Mount pro

thanks Bergkamp.. good to hear from someone who has used both. The ioptron "level and go" option seems to be have some very favourable reviews on cloudynights and it certainly caught my eyes. The mount has built in GPS too. some videos on youtube make it appear that the slewing noise on Az...
