+1!

Mesliz If I can suggest improvement, It would be nice to review the polar alignment system to make it more precise. Although we can rid of it of course, it would be nice to avoid moving by 4° when turning screws a little

I cannot echo this sentiment more - the Alt/Az adjusters for P.A must be improved!

I might also suggest clutches as on the Sky Watcher 150i to permit the balancing of the scope in RA and DEC, which surely would benefit load mgmt and tracking accuracy...

Dear ZWO Team,

Having already an AM5 at a remote observatory, which works very well, i would definitely consider a larger AM, if it will have the following characteristics:

Encoders
Servo Motors
30+Kgr
USB/power ports on the saddle

And finally, one feature that we do not speak about as much as we should: Auto PA

This is the single most dreadful process, when you send and expensive rig abroad at a remote observatory. This is the only process that stops the rig to go FULLY remotely managed.

ASIMount-ZWO It should be able to compete with the HAE69. Ideally, it would have a payload capacity of about 70lb/32kg and a weight of about 20 lb/9 kg. It would also feature built-in cable management and EQ and AZ modes.

It would be nice if it also had the same type of screw pins (not clutches) from the Sky-Watcher Wave 150i that allows balancing the OTA in Dec and RA.

I want to be able to use a 14" Celestron EdgeHD on it, with counterweights if necessary.

Am7 with a mount base for integrated/automated polar alignment? 🙏. I can only wish for sure..
