While at the 98 WSP was setup next to a fellow with a Meade 750 mount and 
a C14. He also happened to be the Meade Canadian repair rep and a friend 
of Roland from AP.

Roland told him for light astrophotography the 900 mount would work. 
While the 1200 would be for the fellow that does lot's of 
Astrophotography or CCD.
