Skywatcher Could Do Better.

I have both of these products, The AZ GTI mount is 99%. It works nicely, the SynScan Pro app is very good and the mount works nicely with Sky Safari Pro. The SkyMax 127 is an excellent telescope, but in the version I bought for my Skywatcher mount -- the "dovetail" is in the wrong place. So, in order to use on the mount the OTA needs to be mounted "upside-down"m putting the finder in an awkward position. The the telescope itself?? Excellent.
