[QUOTE="kamaleon, post: 225407, member: 198507"] Jeezus, how many posts since me went to bed yesterday!:eek: Yes, i actually ment a jack/actuator :-DOH2 i'll read the rest of it now :) edit: ok have read :D Right on fellas, So, basically, to sum up, technically speaking, a H-H mount tracks the Clarke belt using the same type of declinations/elevations than a polar mount, and a polar mount is a more full-on setup being able to cope with higher loads, heavier dishes and stronger winds; I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but the reason for my thread on the first place was that i didn't understand the difference between the way the 2 different mounts tracked the clarke belt, but i've now realised: it's exactly the same :D Actually, thinkin of it, "polar mount" vs "horizon-to-horizon" seems like a quite daft designation, as both setups seem to be polar mounted (ie used the polar axis) and track one horizon to the other - or is the jack/actuator system more limited in ° scope?
