Hi all, I am new to this forum and have a question regarding the Istar Asturia TCR 150-12 R35. I currently have a Celestron 9.25 Edge on the Advanced VX mount and am wondering if the TCR 150-12 R-35 would work on it as well. I know the weight would be OK, was wondering about the long moment arm each side of the mount head. Thanks Dan Read more: istarscopeclub.proboards.com/thread/574/istar-asturia-tcr-150-r35#ixzz3818DgTRj

Hi Dan,
I use my 150 f12 ATM scope which weighs in around 16kg's on an NEQ6 and it works ok, no difficultly tracking or slewing all around the sky. A few jiggles at the focuser end which I get round by using an Rigel Systems electric stepper motor. Most of the time though the scope is on an old pillow block that takes the weight easily with out the jiggles. Cheers Matt
