Having sold my 90mm Mak and a couple other bits and bobs, I have some spare cash in my PayPal account. I'm thinking about getting an RT90C. Max load would be my 102ED (~10-11 pounds) and an AZ5 mount. I already have a Manfrotto 475B, which might default to a fluid head bino mount.

What says the collective mind, yay or nay?

I have never seen one before but the specifications seem good.
I prefer clamps to twist locks but that is more a personal choice.
I could not find anything saying what the twist locks are made of aluminium/ carbon fibre/ plastic

So I bit the bullet and ordered one. Should be here in a few days. If if doesn't work well with my 102ED and ST120 on my Zero, I think those two scopes gotta go and maybe I'll replace my ST80 with an 80ED. Or I'll return the 90C. Or try an M2C.

Goldilocks is out there somewhere...

Looking forward to your thoughts on the RT, the M2C is a great mount.
I use mine with a Manfrotto 028b tripod. All of my telescopes work well with it (except the 150mm f/8)

Tripod has arrived and it's pouring rain.
