It's raining here and has been cloudy for over three weeks so I'm very bored. So I bought a new AR5-OTA today.


Schultze, Why do you say that? The optics or the mount?I'm beginning to think that that is what I should've bought instead of an LDX55 AR-6.
The 5” looks OK. I’ll pick it up this week sometime.

Regards,
Stacy

As far as advice goes.......don't slip a Bino into that OTA unless you have some extra funds around the house. Talk about 3D views.........

I just read about your trials with the mount. I hope they get it right for you. I have heard they work pretty well despite your experience. Good luck.

Mine was working fine for almost three months and then the RA started acting up so they asked that I send it back for repair. Great I thought.
They sent me a new mount instead of repairing the old one and this one is worse than the first. It's not the mount though, it's the electronics.
The Autostar is utterly lost and doesn't know where it is.
