That atlas mount looks nice. I was thinking of getting one some day.

With the ED80 and the 190 mm Mak Newt, plus the spotting scope and cameras I needed the 4th counterweight. I'm way over the limit, but she keeps humming for several years. Smooth as silk, but cant see through clouds.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with over 3 counter weights!

We can join the counterweight club...when we have our 10" Orion Newt mounted, we have to use 4 large and one small one, but like Paul said, "the Atlas just keeps humming along." By the way, you have a nice setup, Paul.
