I just received this Advanced VX 6 a couple weeks ago & wouldnt you know it-The celestial gods bring in the clouds & rain whenever amateur astronomers purchase any new equipment! I ran this one through the motions in the apartment as I like to hear the sound of those AVX integer worm gears. I set it to line up North then set the index marks & began a mock alignment. I slewed it to Mars, Jupiter & Venus & sure bet the direction this GoTo computerized telescope pointed to is almost exactly where they are in the sky at that moment. The best purchase for my astronomy Ive made, a very sturdy rock solid German Equatorial mount! Ive also included some nice pics at the end of this set up, some planetary and Moon images. Thanks for looking! Please check out & like Cargeena 2 Astronomy on Facebook for more great pictures and to stay in the loop on current/future celestial events. youtu.be/che4EVRO66o https://facebook/Cargeena2Astronomy?ref=bookmarks
