Anyone have any experience with this mount? I'm considering the newest
one with "Goto" but can't find anything on it. I'm concerned about the
quality of the electronics---not a strong suite with Orion---and the
height maximum.

I'd check Cloudy Nights for review and/or discussion.

You might want to go he

More data here on this mount than probably anywhere on the planet...

It's a Yahoo group, and you may have to join the group to see the posts.
There have been over 10,500 posts to this group, which is about this
mount... It includes experiences from MANY owners, how-to's, work
arounds, adn fixes. More than you ever wanted to know about this mount...
There's much more about the non-GOTO than the newer, GOTO version, but
there have been posts about that, too... Have fun...


Oops! I meant that as a reply to Doink, but if you haven't been there, and
have any interest in that mount, this is a good place to get it...
