After the NEAF show, I kept SJ-X mount and new scopes for my testing here in California instead of shipping back to Japan.
This seems to be one of the largest strain wave gear mounts as the transportable mount category in the market. So positively very heavy! The wedge section is quite solid and stable.
Fortunately various accessory holes allow to set PoleMaster. (I wish the commercial unit will become Pole-Master ready) Anyway, I think it’s ready for the use now. But the marine layer blocks testing every night.
The GPS built-in controller and easy to change the various slew speeds by one button. The fine pitch alt/az adjustment knobs should make the polar alignment comfortable.
Like other mounts, SJ-X allows the users to switch between GEQ and ALT-AZ modes too.
The mount is expected to be commercially available this fall.
