	Turbocharging the Losmandy G11: 3.5 arc seconds peak to peak By Greg Nowell 6/24/2008 Ovision's new aftermarket worm makes almost any new or used G11 competitive with mounts at 3x the price in most imaging applications. The flexibility in configurations (servo go-to, stepper systems, manual or digital setting circles), snazzy aftermarket options such as the Berlebach tripod, and a large user base keep this model suprisingly flexible. The Ovision aftermarket worm may vault this well-known mount into a top-contender in its weight class for high performance imaging applications.

	The Takahashi Teegul Alt-azimuth Mount is also a RA/Dec mount! By Jim Buchanan 6/16/2007 The precision and build of the Teegul mount are typical Takahashi, yet we astronomers have still found a way to make it better. I have come up with one more way to increase its usefulness.

	EZTouch Alt-Az Mount and Tripod - It doesn't get any EZier By Timm Bottoni 9/15/2006 If you never seem to get outside to observer any more because you just never seem to have the time, the EZTouch mount and tripod, may be the answer.
	Vixen Polaris By Ed Moreno 8/16/2006 A case of having your cake… And eating it too…
	William Optics EZTouch: Next in a series of ultimates? By Eric Gage 7/19/2006 Having already written a review praising another mount as the perfect alt-az for the PST, will the author be forced to admit this one is..um....more perfect?
Celestron CGE mount By jack dull 7/6/2006 Excellent mount, nice price
	Venus Optics Imager Tripod By Richard Hennig 7/4/2006 Focusing a DSLR or a webcam is a challenge and required a lot of patience when you use the aluminum tripod that comes with many mounts. When a friend of mine, Alex Choy, told me that he started designing and manufacturing a replacement tripod for the GP mount and its clones, I jumped at the opportunity and asked him to send me one to replace my aluminum tripod and to test it for astrophotography.
	A new contender on the Alt-Az block! By Morris Bagnall 4/23/2006 So you hear about a new mount; then you hear one of the only ones shipped out has been sent back. Do you still go out and buy one? I did!!
	TeleVue Panoramic Mount By Eric Gage 3/23/2006 Despite the fact that "aperture wins", an astonishing number of amateur astronomers have turned to the 80mm refractor. These small scopes seem to deliver the perfect mixture of portability and performance. How will you mount yours?
	Dan's Pier Plates By jack dull 3/18/2006 Solid and Steady and adjustable pier plate

	LXD650 Bang for Buck or Bust? By Don Joski 8/26/2005 There was a buzz on astro sites that Meade outlet was selling a LXD650/102ED package that included a goto computer for $1,000 less than Meade dealers. Interesting I thought. I had just sold a C9.25 and GM8. Could I possibly go from a big scope to a little scope? No way, that is, unless the little scope's mount could carry a big scope. I posted a question in the forum - can the LXD650 handle a 9.25" SCT? I got a couple of replies. Both said it would carry a C9.25, better than a GM8, and might even handle an 11" SCT. Sold.
