I have it as an OTA. My mount is a Ioptron CEM25EC with an Ioptron Ipolar camera in it. So polar alignment is the same as with an EQ-mount. The weight of the scope is around 50% of the payload of the mount, so that works fine.
The mount has optical encoders on RA and also because of that, I can do 600sec captures with tracking only :)
