[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 224873, member: 183150"] I have myself pondered on the differences between 'Polar' & 'HH', and could essentialy see none. To track the Clarke belt you need to, (1) rotate the dish about an inclined axis (2) give the right amount of declination to the dish (3) point it south at the top of the arc Topper's wonderfully simple setup has an inclined axis, a way of adjusting the declination, and a means of moving it. Just like any HH mount. The differences being in the different engineering design features to get to the same end result. I don't find my Yaeger 1224 HH mount particularly light when I am up the ladder :D On further reflection, I would suggest that any tracking mount, that is aligned to the 'polar axis', ie: north/south, is by definition a 'Polar Mount' [/QUOTE]
