Used - Advanced VX Mount and Tripod

Had a chance to test it a few times, it fits a multitude of scopes (those with Vixen mounts). Very well built and solid (with a hefty weight too), in my case it worked right out of the box. In my opinion the polar align add on is a must, makes polar alignment a breeze and later ensures dead on tracking. Once set up properly, the GoTo software works very well and zeros in on objects right away. I find it useful to add one or two stars for alignment, as suggested by Celestron. Later by using the hybernate mode, I was able to use it multiple nights without the need to re-align. Well worth the money and a definite improvement over the Nexstar Al-Az mount, at a significant cost. Meaning I can go from 10-15sec subs to 30-60sec subs.

Only had it out a few nights so far. Seems to track over 2 minute exposures most of the time just fine. Found a few tricks so far. One polar align to polaris correctly don't be lazy and all star align. People sailed the ocean's way before gps. Two add the 4 maximum calibration stars not just 1 or 2..Counter balance everything correctly. It only comes with a 11lbs weight so you may need a smaller weight so the weight doesn't ride close to the top and hit the mount. Keep the clutches loose as possible. 90% of bad reviews are people lazy and set in there wrong ways. Or they used it wrong and broke it... All mounts require practice and patience. Ready for the auto guider next. Attached is 50 minutes of 2 minute exposures of the lagoon nebula on a svbony ed 80. Second is the north American nebula on a svbony ed80 no autoguider 7x 2min exposures with svbony UHC eos clip in filter
