Another very impressive set up for the SVQ100 was brough by Tony Sarra. Not only is the mpunt impressive but Tony arranged for us to make for him a Q without focuser. We adapted the Atlas imaging focuser on the Q and it worked flawlessly. He has taken the SVQ100 to a whole different level of performance by precisely controlling focus every time. Say what you will, his Q is not under-mounted. ;-)
