RE: [APML]: AP600 v. 900 for C11



William,

I, like many other astrophotographers, am of the opinion that you can't have too much 
mount -- my C-11 sits on a AP 1200. Given that, I'd definitely recommend the 900 over the 
600. I previously owned a G-11 and felt that it was inadequate for shooting with a C-11 
(fine for visual, though). The slightest amount of wind was enough to give it  and the 
autoguider fits.

Best of luck,

Bob Fera

I would like info/opinions on which mount would be best with a C11 scope.
Although the G11 Losmandy mount seems like an excellent deal, I know the AP
mounts are substantially better, particularly for astrophotography.  Does
anyone know if the AP 600 is stable enough for the weight of the Celestron
C11 or will I need the 900.  Thanks for any help.
