"I have owned a half dozen meade mounts. Including
the LX-10 and the LX-50 which was marketed as an astrophoto sturdy
mount. Then there was the LX-200 and LX-200 GPS and the LXD75.
All I can say is that after looking at all the money I spent
on Meade over the years and wondering why I could still not take
an astrophoto without tinkering all night. I realized I could
buy a Paramount with all that dough. Which I did. I am very pleased
with the Paramount. Last night I started an astrophoto as soon
as the sun went down and went to help my buddy who owns an LX-200.
Seems he had tracking errors. My Paramount has given me back
something very precious. My time. Now I can spend those priceless
moments under the stars with my friends. Thanks Paramount." |

"PROMPT
would not be up and running without the Paramount line of
mounts. When UNC first got into the small-telescope remote observing
business about 6 years ago we tried out another manufacturer's
mounts. They were in no way adequate for the high-precision pointing
and tracking we needed. We quickly changed to a Paramount GT-1100s,
and they, along with the (Paramount) ME's have served us extremely
well.
Without the Paramounts, we would have to get our mounts custom-built
for a much larger expense, so much so that the cost would likely
be prohibitive for this size of project." |
