Re: Explore Scientific EXOS2-GT with PMC 8
Past reviews I have read have been mostly less than ideal though the programming has improved over the years.
A manual has been written finally by a group of users as
There are a few long running discussions on other forums about them, most about 2-3 years old.
The mount itself is a copy of the Meade LXD-75

From Gabrielle after finishing laughing: Not a bloody chance!
At best it is good for 11.4 kg (25 lb) visual comparable to the Celestron AVX.
The Celestron is a workhorse and is quite dependable.
I used a Celestron ASGT (AVX predecessor) for over 15 years trouble free before selling it and the current owner is still using it as their main mount.
The LX85 is an update of the LXD-75 so expect actual capacity to be between 11.4-13.6 kg (25-30 lb)
Meade and Celestron have been exaggerating their mount capacities for decades
