Questar 5 specifications released, mounting specs later?
Curious to see if they produce a modernized, electronicized mount or just a regular none Goto unit, perhaps with DC drives?

These days wouldn't they just put a standard mount adaptor on and allow the purchaser to attach it to which ever high end drive they like? https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/5...estar-5/page-8 -- Regards, Martin Brown |

I'm no fan, but some might use them. I think Questar's fork mount is iconic so I hope some variation of it appears. |
