Hi Guys,

I have been pondering for a while the cons and pros in relation to a folk mount with a field rotator or your standard EQ mount. I'm starting to think a grab and go astrophotography setup would be easy with a folk mount and camera field rotator rather then an HEQ5 Pro with a small ED. What are your thoughts?

i would personally go with a GEM over a fork mount with field rotator...
the synscan alignment procedure doesn't take long to get up and running these days...

what scope were you planning on throwing on top?
