John's mount is a Universal Astronomics Deluxe P mount made a few years ago. (Before Larry P offered the black anodize finish). The tripod is a Losmandy GM-8 tipod I believe. I like the fastening straps. Looks stronger than generic velcro....

I'd bet the ranch it's a UA Light Deluxe Unimount; it appears to be identical to mine with the exception of the ALT pivot height adjustment being a bit different. John's might be an earlier model.

I feel very lucky to have been able to look through Milt's Kowa HighLander on a couple of nights....Beautiful image quality.




Rich, Next time I'll have a look through yours. Your equipment was also an absolute treat to look through - thanks again.

Milt

Thank you, Milt!

I would love to have a look through your TEC 160 fluorite when it comes in.

All the best,
Rich
