Which Alt Az mount (under $600) for Sky Comm. ?       #3114735 - 05/19/09 02:04 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hey folks, I would love a premium alt az mount w/ Sky Commander for use with my NP 101, but don't have the budget. Which alt az mount in the $400 to $600 range would work well with the Sky Commander? I am looking to purchase the mount now, but may add the Sky Commander later. Also, any experiences with Sky Commander are welcome. Do you feel it a good benefit when looking for DSOs?

However the TV Gibraltar is in the $700 range and it will handle the encoders easily (Sky Commander or Sky Tour). Post Extras:       mypontiac Pooh-Bah Reged: 09/06/07 Loc: Austin, Tx.
