Review:
I have been successfully using my new Avalon Linear mount now for about 6 months. It performs very well, consistently giving RMS tracking errors much lower than my Losmandy mount. It is also very quiet, and the StarGo software works well. I use the mount in conjunction with the StarGo software and SkySafari on a Samsung tablet. This gives me great flexibility.
