Hi

Recently came across a new Harmonic Equitorial Mount from ML Astro. The SAL 33 mount specs look impressive and couple of reviews from Luca - Space Koala and others were quite positive. The price is around US$1100 and nearly half of ZWO AM5. Seems to tick all the boxes

Would like to know if there is any feedback or experience of using this mount as I plan to go for a more portable version for my Travel gear and this one fits the budget quite well

Await to hear some comments

Thanks

I have three of the cheaper commercialized Onstep mounts direct for China, Clearsky ST-14 and ST-20 and one Juwei-17, and they are all great. I would have to imagine the ML Astro mount will be fantastic based on how much work he’s put into it and the better quality overall. Early reviews have been extremely positive, and he managed to keep the price very reasonable on top of everything else.
