Hi,
looking for a lightweight mount for imaging. generally at shorter focal lengths under 1 metre, mostly using shorter refractors. Biggest scope likely to be an ED120 or similar. Thinking about either a Celestron VX or an ioptron iEq30/45. Less interested in Skywatcher mounts as have had a bad experience with an EQ6, plus something like the AZEQ6 is a bit too heavy for portability.
I've done a bit of searching, and not been able to find much info on the mounts performance/pe etc. Saw one report of an iEQ30 at 12 as p top PE but no others.
Has anyone any direct experience with these mounts?
cheers
