While researching what to spend my money on, turning grey and generally ageing considerably over my choices, i have been thinking about the future of mount technology. systems like autoguiding, goto, computer operation etc, have made their way to relatively inexpensive mounts. i can't help but thinking that the next big step will be a move to direct drive. it seems like a no brainer, you eliminate any mechanical PE, have complete knowledge of the mount location at all times etc. what does everyone think? 5 years down the track will there be an eq10 with direct drive?
