The Manticore is packed with features and can control almost any type of mount with stepper motors. These could be used to rebuild an existing mount to modernise it (we also offer that as a service), they could also be used by ATMers who want to build their own mount. For customisation requests please contact us after placing your order. Lead time is 1-2 weeks depending on build selection and customisation requirements. All variants of the Manticore are official OnStep hardware, a portion of the proceeds go towards support and development of the fantastic OnStep system. Users of the Manticore receive full support from both JTW and OnStep.
