Nice mount. I bought the Celstron 6 inch f/5 on the Polaris mount back about 1984. The weak spot is the cast altitude adjusting bracket. Over time mine bent almost to the horizontal, and that was only with the weights that came with the 6 inch. Too bad, because the mount is very well made. So, do like Roger says and use small telescopes!
