Re: [APML] small AP mount (was: M42 at 300mm on new EQ6 mount)

Very true, Roland.
I like my GM-8, it was well worth the money. But that's not to say I didn't have
to do modifications to get it to guide well enough to have round stars at 2350mm
with 7.4 micron pixels. I completely understand, and the mount is a bargin for a
person with this understanding.
