New mount

Last week I received my new mount for the coming season, a Vixen GP-D2. Overall it is very much like SVP (for obvious reasons...), but it supposed have no more than +/- 10" of periodic error and no sudden jumps or anything like the problems SVP has. I also got a new guide/planetary camera, DMK21AU04.AS from Imaging Source. It allows longer exposures of guide star and combined with better tracking of GP-D2 I should get way better overall tracking.
