Hi, I'm new

Good Morning,

I've had my 8" collapsible Skywatcher dobsonian for almost 2 years now and have observed many amazing deep space objects. I had a go at taking a photo of Saturn and the moon the other night and it went quite well considering its a dob and I had no camera adaptor mount at the time.

Anyways long story short I got a lot of satisfaction in being able to take a photo instead of observing and recording and am keen to explore astrophotography further.

Now I see it is quite easy to convert a non-collapsible scope to an Equatorial Mounted version...my question is am I able to convert the collapsible version over. Looking at it, it would appear as if the current centre of gravity would not sit well on the EQ mount.
