Re: EM200 or NJP

The NJP has recently been discontinued so it will be difficult to find one unless it is used (and even then...).
The EM200 has +/- 5 arc sec error and the NJP has +/- 3 arc sec error. NJP weighs more but apparently breaks into three pieces which are manageable (can anyone confirm?). The load capacity is also much larger for the NJP.
I just ordered a new EM-200 but I have seen them and used them before and they are fabulous. Either way you can't lose. Just be prepared to buy an expensive hand controller if you want one from Tak (~$600) and the number of items isn't as good as you would probably like it to be. That is why I am using an old portable laptop specifically for the field with a program to control the telescope and keep the screen from ruining my night vision.
