Great service, fantastic product! Second time I've bought from Harrison's and again, extremely prompt replies and delivery. I had the mount setup a few days after I recieved it. This is my first "proper" mount and it was brillant first use. Polar align simple, 1 star align simple, goto went to! 3 minute exposure straight off. (16/02/2018) Gordon -
