Some very good points from all.

Glen, I will be imaging from the backyard ROR observatory. I'm Bortel 4-5 here in some directions, maybe a 3 in others. I don't see a problem health wise strangely enough as the obs makes everything a bludge. The roof rolls off with 2 fingers and everything is already setup ready to go. I don't need to lift anything heavier than a camera.

Jon, what you said makes a lot of sense. I have a 10" F4 on a wobbly HEQ5 Pro. A mono will pick up the slightest wobble, making for no advantage with sharpness until I get a better mount. Even then it will only be an EQ6 of some sort. I can always use a smaller refractor on it I suppose. The ED100 and a mono camera on that mount should be fine.

Decisions decisions. I'll just get one of each.
