Dimitri, thanks for you welcome message. I appreciate your comments and understand your points, but I do not fully agree. If somebody does not understand english, the mount may be of very limited use for him anyway. The manual, the Autostar Controller and the book are all in english... I may reconsider and include the tripod, if it should be necessary. However I think Greece IS a "astronomers paradise"!!! The conditions here are really good (except Athens maybe). And if you browse the web you will see that many Top Astro Photographers are from Greece. ...maybe I should just open a new topic in greek, with pictures, full data set and everything... Andreas
