[QUOTE="Huevos, post: 740074, member: 301161"] The polar mount feels rock solid compared to the 1224. There is zero backlash and zero up and down movement. When you push on the dish to test alignment it barely moves whereas with the 1224 there's a bit of movement up and down, and side to side. I've got a 24 inch actuator on there. 18 inches would get you from 60E to 60W on the central LNB plus you need a bit more to set software and hardware limits. The mount runs into itself before 60º so needs a bit of clearancing. Counting is much finer on the 1224 (about 12 counts per degree), but with the actuator even though it moves slower it's only 470 counts for the whole arc and they are bunched up at the eastern end.
