William Optics High Latitude Base Review

While I was reviewing the Space Cat, AgenaAstro was kind enough to send me a William Optics Latitude Base to test out. This base comes in two different configurations – High Latitude (32-59) and Low Latitude (7-34). You should choose the base depending on your shooting location. For example, I normally take my photos in North America, which ranges from roughly 30 N to 45 N. Therefore, the High Latitude base works well for me. However, if you live closer to the equator, you should consider the Low Latitude base instead.
Before I get into the main review, I want to touch on the default iOptron and Sky-Watcher bases that come with the SkyGuider / SkyTracker Pro and the Star Adventurer / Star Adventurer Mini. The iOptron bases are not well made. Almost everyone I talk to complains about the imprecise adjustments and flimsy design. I’ve gotten used to the relative inaccuracy of the altitude and azimuth screws, and have learned to work around them. However, I still get frustrated when I try to make precise adjustments during my polar alignment.
