After taking the mount out around 6 times now, I am getting to know it. The guiding is good, last night I was getting, in Bortle 7 average seeing skies, between .3" and .6" on each axis. Polar alignment is easy with the ASIAIR Plus.
One issue I'd like to let others know about:
Even though the AM5 has a DC output port to power the ASIAIR or other device, it really doesn't generate enough power to run a camera and two dew heaters.
Better to plug the ASIAIR or whatever device you use directly into your battery pack, that solves that issue.
I hope ZWO comes up with a firmware update to increase the amperage a bit so that the DC output port can actually be utilized. Otherwise very happy with tmount, it's so easy to carry!
