Thanks Alex, for your consideration. I'm always trolling the classifieds these days. I was saving for a SW AZ-EQ6 (12 months away at current rate). Then I read your post to another newdude, where you suggested keeping the AZ mount "for visual, whilst your EQ collects photons" (or similar). With that in mind, the Nexstar 6 mount will probably stay with me forever, just for that reason. Now that this AZ mount is staying with me, I figure I can save a bit, and get an EQ6-R instead (I won't need the AZ function). Thanks again for your constant wisdom
