iOptron GEM28 with 1.75" Literock tripod and case with iPolar

This is my first tracking mount that I purchased for astrophotography and after a few nights of imaging, I am beyond happy with the results. This is a very smooth mount, it turns very freely so balance is really important. It slews and tracks virtually silently which is really important when imaging late at night. iPolar makes polar alignment quick, accurate and easy (especially useful when North Celestial Pole is obstructed). I am still learning how to use this mount more and more each day but I think this is one of the better mounts to learn the hobby on. I would strongly consider this mount.

I moved into this mount for portability from the ES PMC mount. This mount is exceptional, right out of the box. It is current pointing my Zenithstar 73 scope with no issues. The motor is super quiet and precise. I have not tried the iPolar yet, as I PA with Sharpcap still. Guiding using PHD2 is fantastic.
