Hi Everybody,

I am new to astronomy and have been browsing through different telescopes. I thought a Newtonian Reflector with 130mm (5 inch) aperture on a AZ mount would be something good to start with as the EQ mount looks like something complex for me at this stage.

But what I see is after going through different brands, no brand comes with a 130mm (5 inch) or greater aperture on AZ mount. All of them have an EQ mount.

Is there a technical reason behind this? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jimmy
