Telescope Reviews: Re: WO EZTouch Alt-Az Mount now sold without Tripo

At 275x (nagler 3-6 zoom on 3mm), loaded with the FS102 (w/ 8x50 finder) ONLY (no scope on the other side as opposed to my earlier post), using VSP's, damping time from the rap test is still right around 1 second. When moving the scope to recenter the target, the scope stops jiggling immediately after removing your hand from the telescope.

To get this level of stability, it's I found it's VERY important you spread the legs as far apart as possible.

I'd recommend Ultrawide angle eyepieces for higher powers, as items just fly across the FOV of the 3-6, but the motions of the mount are smooth - however, unlike the DM4/6, I can't track and observe at the same time - the setup isn't that stable - but to be fair, I've never seen one that is - outside of the DM4/6.

This is excellent performance for a lightweight, inexpensive mount.
