CPC 800 XLT vs C8 CarbonFiber+HEQ5Pro
HI Guys,
I am looking to get my second scope and i am looking to get Celestron CPC 800 XLT or C8 CarbonFiber + HEQ5pro.
I have no experience with equator mounts so please advise me Pro and Cons of both. i have done some reading but not able to decide. here is my finding -
CPC 800XLT is very portable and looks easy to use vs HEQ5 looks bit complicated to use may be because i am new but you guys can advise.
but i am also looking at long run - what happens if something happens to motor of CPC model i would need to replace entire thing right? with C8+HEQ5pro i get flexibility of changing scope or add auto-guider etc.
I am planning to add camera and try some long exposure photography away from Melbourne city. so star tracking is very important.
What setup would give me best quality pictures?
P.S. - both setup i am getting are used for about 3+ years. so please consider age of mounts or scopes where it could lead to any problem.
