How Avalon Instruments mounts track in windy condition?
The Belt Drive System is based on pulleys and belts and may shows a certain elasticity. This feature allows, for example, after a wind gust, the star to comes back on the same pixel after just 2/3 ms compared to the 2/3 sub exposures of the other mounts that can take several seconds, due to the fact that it is the motor to bring back the star in the right position. This make the difference on the final image quality.
