Hi folks:

First time poster here but I have been reading for a while. I have been considering a Losmandy mount for some time now and after problem after problem with mass produced mounts, I want to give Losmandy a try. I have a few questions for you and hopefully you can provide feedback based on your experience.

I’m 100% an astrophotographer so the mount would never be used for planetary or visual, just DSO AP. My latest rig is a fully loaded RASA 11” V2 with 6200MM and a 72mm APO guidescope on top. The rig weights about 60lbs. The setup benefits from a relatively high image scale of 1.25” per pixel. Also, I have migrated to the ASIAIR Pro and use that solely as my controller for both camera and mount. I have little clear sky time and need a mount that works out of the box with no tweaking and no fuzz.

Looking at the Losmandy line, weight and cost not a problem, why would be your recommendation? I would prefer data and PHD2 graphs from APers with larger setups if possible.

Thanks so much for your input,

Roger
