Ah so it is the f5 imaging scope, sorry that wasn't clear from your initial inquiry.

Have you used a newtonian scope on an EQ mount for visual? The reason I ask is that I have and no way would I go back to that setup. For visual observation a dob is almost always a better option for the following reason

1 No need to polar align
2 No need to level
3 Eyepiece position almost always in convenient position
4 Easy to setup and pack up
5 No electronics to fail
6 Maximum aperture for the $

Cheers

Malcolm
