Hello Guys, I have some really good news. Istar Optical is officially partnering with the a great mount manufacturer, iOptron. We feel iOptron is a good fit for Istar telescopes. Like Istar, iOptron is dedicated to quality products and great service for a reasonable price. I've been testing an iEQ45 on an optional pier for a few weeks now and I'm quite pleased. A Perseus 127mm F8, a Perseus 150mm F8 and a Phoenix WFT 150mm F5 have all been tested with the iEQ45. The mount handled each of these scopes with ease. The alignment procedure is straight forward resulting in the target falling within the eyepiece every time. I'm not going to go into details on specs here as this will be on our web site. We'll be selling mounts by themselves as well as combination packages. Soon, some of those combinations will be complete imaging packages. Add your camera and your ready to shoot. I posted a few images of the mounts in the gallery section. Check back frequently for lots of news and astro images to come.
Mike

Sounds great Mike, just today I was looking at the iEQ45 Az for my Takahashi TSA, I like the idea of a GoTo AltAz which can take two scopes at one time, great for public viewing nights.
