Re: [APML]: Mounts

[Jim Fakatselis <jimfak@netusa.net>]

I have a new AP 600 on order with the voice control and servo motors. I was
trying to decide about the portability of the AP 600 compared to the AP 900.
Is the AP 900 really transportable easily? I have heard that it is not. How
transportable compared to Losmandy G-11, anyone have an idea?
