I’ve been waiting on a mount I ordered since September of last year. Watching that postal clown mishandle yours has got me nervous. I’m surprised nobody has made a video about the astro gear shortage. I’d definitely expect that comical ball to be thrown in your court. It could be funny in epic proportions. “The real reason why everything is on back order” something along those lines. Glad you got your gear. Sexy. I’m waiting on an EQ6-R. You’d think they would be mass produced considering their popularity. The retail distribution industry is just one excuse with many faces. I’m personally getting sick of being told “2-3 weeks”. Maybe this explains all the bad weather. Too many people ordering crap. There needs to be a national astro week where purchases are banned. That way we can all enjoy clear skies momentarily. Purchasing during the holiday could be punishable by death. We’ll hang the violators with ST-4 cables. Lol

BigDawg mount acquired! I recently went from a Meade LX85 to the Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro. Just the sound alone on the EQ6 compared to the Meade was enough to make it worth it (ok, EQMOD and general performance is about 712% better...). I was worried a neighbour was going to call the police and make a noise complaint against me slewing with that Meade mount... Looking forward to some insane snaps when the weather is nicer to you up your way.

I also agree the tri-pier is plenty stable, once set up it did not budge one bit. Congrats on your new mount, Skywatchers are great mounts as well.

I heard the Gears running, At a retail price of $7,100 US, i would have suggested the Plane Wave L-350 Direct Drive at 10K US and $2k US for there wedge. I have started a Fundraiser for my L-350 and wedge as I personally can not afford to purchase my own at this time. But I will wait, as I cannot afford to keep buying mounts, I know that I would be wasting my retirement money on. I need to get it right as I start up the first time. You and Trevor, Nico and all the others here on You Tube are my Mentors, I have the utmost respect for all you guys Knowledge you share with all of us.

@@dayjeremy The Mach2GTO Renishaw encoders are accurate to 0.25" per hour - which is better than excellent seeing from a Chilean mountain top. So as long as you have a stable pier and a good Point Map, it will perform as well as a guider. My point map is still quite poor at this point and I can already track 10 minutes at 3910mm. I know Roland has done over an hour. The reason to still use a guider however is if you use the mount on the go and you don't want to spend the time to generate a point map.
