Ninja Mount

This thing is so quiet it’s spooky. The telescope just starts moving without any detectable sound. The OnStep system can be a little tricky to navigate at first but there is a wealth of information on how to set everything up. I posted on CN about how much I liked the mount and the WarpAstron support account invited me to send them my guide logs so they could have a look and make recommendations on how to improve guiding! They sent me a few suggestions which I will try next time it’s clear. That’s pretty good customer support. It also works at very low temperatures. The second night it got down to -30C and I had no problems with the mount, my rotator didn’t work at that point. My AM5 requires auxiliary heating if I want to image at that temperature. I highly recommend this mount if you’re looking at an AM5 or similar strain wave mount. It’s a bit more but as someone who has used both, I’d say it’s worth the extra money. The direct drive has almost zero dec backlash. That’s definitely not the case with my AM5.

So far so good

First impressions are that this is a great mount. So much smaller and lighter than my old anchor of a mount the EQ-6 Pro it's replacing. I have not gotten that far yet in getting it to where it needs to be but have mated it to my old EQ-6 tripod. I also mounted my bare bones OTA an ES-127, and have downloaded the drivers and gotten it to slew using NINA. I now have to check the firmware and update that if necessary, depends on the production date and how long it was stored at the dealer, which perhaps is a service the dealer could offer before shipping them out, some folks have trouble with those things. I'll maybe update this review if that's possible later when I get all the bells and whistles operating under a clear sky.
