Here is my wonderful AP1200 QMD mounting. The AP1200 is regarded as one of the best mounts in the world, bettered only by the awesome Software Bisque Paramount.

I have to thank my friend Jim Phillips from South Carolina, USA for giving me this superb piece of world-class equipment. |
The AP1200 can carry up to 65 kg (140 lbs) of telescope(s) with consummate ease. |

|
Here we see the my Celestron C-11 and Orion ED80 telescopes mounted side by side. Also mounted is my ST80 guide scope. |

Another view - the site of my under-construction observatory is visible in the background. |
The QMD model of the AP1200 does not have GOTO facilities, but this can be retro-fitted - a project for the future. |
