Guest twintin Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Just a quicky, is the celestron slt mount the same for all models. I ask as im watching a nexstar 80 but only really want the mount as im after a 127 for general observing. Its just at a price where it would be worth having and wait for a 127mak ota. any help appreciated Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 slt 4 & 5 is a smaller mount than the slt 6 & 8, if that's any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would go for the larger mount. Had a small slt and was not too impressed. The axis had a large amount of play and were not solid when required. The larger mount has much better load capacity. You could also get away with larger ota's in the future.

Guest twintin Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Sorry guys are you thinking of the SE Series? i know they have differences, Im talking about the SLT ones. (just picked it up actually for £140) so hopefully i can pick up a 127 mak for not much and swap it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 In that case look on astro buy and sell, the 127 come up fairly often. Hope to see you at the dark sites. A warm welcome to EMS. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
