Hi everyone,
Ive finally saved up to buy a HEQ5 mount but one thing that is confusing me is the telescope tube rings and the dovetail. Im looking and have found tubes to the size of my 8 inch dobsonian telescope but I don't know if I need a specific dovetail to fit the type of tube rings to the mount. Im thinking it might also not be the right thing to do because there is still other things to get in order to start doing astrophotography and it is scaring me. What should I do, should i get the mount or just hold it out until i get more money to buy not only just the mount but also the equipment.
Kind regards,
frostyricho
