Hi everyone! I'm faced with choosing a mount with a telescope package.
Would a HEQ5 be better in the long run or would it be the VX?

I'm thinking of buying an imaging package off Andrews Comms and it comes with a Guan Sheng GS-630 8" f/5 imaging Newtonian on Celestron Advanced VX "Go-To" equatorial mount with tripod.
The other thought is a Bintel BT200 f/5 on a HEQ5 Pro GOTO mount and tripod.

Which mount is more reliable, with weight and tracking, and has a higher quality?

Which would suit me better in the long run for Mediocre Astrophotography?

I want to image nebula and bright galaxies, and already have a camera set up along with my current 130mm reflector with the ALT-AZ GOTO.

Thanks!
