She is a beast! for telescope accessories

I got to know telescopes through photography and it was my first mount, no experience. The first night I set it up in 20 minutes, not great mind you, but long enough to sweep across the sky and it got everything centered in the eyepiece. As I've used it, more and more shots have become faster and transitions more precise. I think I have 9 minutes left or now. But now I'm working on getting it to align its polarity correctly so it doesn't drift as much anymore, no way because of the mount, itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • telescope and microscope accessories

  • I don't remember

Good strong mount. Nice features

The mount is solid and well designed. For the second time there were problems with the electronic controls. I had an invalid packet loader error 0020. The manual didn't help!

  • Electronics
Cons

Celestron VX camera and photo mount

I've had this mount for a few months now and it's really good. I bought this mount as an upgrade for my Nexstar 6SE. With the Nexstar SE Mount, I was able to get 8-12 seconds of subwoofer before I started seeing star trails in my images. Since it was an Alt-Az mount, you would have field rotation. On the other hand, I was able to get 1-minute subwoofers with the VX Mount without autoguiding. Because this is an equalizer, there is no field rotation. The Nexstar 6SE OTA fits perfectly on thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Telescope accessories
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
