Doesn't seem like much activity in the "Files" area so I posted a few
of my first attempts with the C14-G11 and ST237 Fastar combination.
I will be replacing the G11 next month with an AP1200. The G11 is
just not robust enough to handle focal lengths longer than f3.3
because I usually set up in fairly exposed areas. Comments are
welcome. Also, where are the rest of your images? I know you have
them!

Ken,
I use a Losmandy HGM-200 with my C14. It is very robust. Both it
and the AP1200 have their strong points, but I am curious:
1). Did you consider the HGM-200?
2). How long did you wait for the AP1200?
5). What was your final cost?
Thanks,
WayneG

Hi Wayne;
I tried to order the HGM-200 from Scott Losmandy 3 years ago. Waited
a year and he didn't seem interested in taking my order! I got on
the AP waiting list about that time, which was around January 2000.
I was notified in October 2001 of a February 2002 delivery on the
AP1200. The mount, weights, polar scope, and a portable pier from
Advanced Telescope Systems will run about $9,000!

Hi, In speaking of ordering the Losmandy Mounts, it used to be that you had to go through the dealer network for a complete mount from Losmandy.

Is this what you did, or did you try to go "Direct through Scott"? I'm sure nothing has changed in this regard.

I had previously owned an HGM-200,(1997) and total wait time was one year.

I now own an AP1200GTO Total wait time was 23-1/2 months. Mark
