United StatesVery happy with mount. Push-to / Goto work fine. Wifi connection simple and reliable. Been able to drive a Celestron 6" SCT with no apparent strain. If you do mount a Celestron, be prepared to load the alternate motor firmware which allows mounting your scope to the right of the mount or your scope will be upside down and focus knob in a weird place on the left. It also allows mount to be run Equatorially with a wedge. Alternate firmware may be listed as Beta, but it works great. If you're using your Android phone as the controller, don't forget to give the Synscan App permission in phone settings to use your location. Also consider one of the two ADM saddle upgrades which use a non-scarring and more secure clamp instead of the single screw on the OEM saddle. Lastly, if you choose to use the 2 pound Skywatcher counterweight with this mount (necessary for Equatorial), realize the counterweight has a M8 thread and the AZ-GTi takes an M12 thread. So order a M8 to M12 adapter (often labeled as an "insert") at the same time.
