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

Well... you were right: the price for the EM-10 mount is about $1000 higher 
than I previously quoted; that brings it up into the $-3000 class in Italy.
I only doubt GM-8 won't be sturdy enough should I ever choose to switch to 
a bigger OTA.

Happy new year and clear skies,
