[Astrolabe]

Hello to all members

I have noticed that a number of members have EQ6 mounts, but I am not sure if any, have a 10" reflector either Synta or GSO mounted on the EQ6. I know that there are EQ6 plus 10" reflectors packages available but I have not seen any comments on how such systems perform in visual use and if the vibration (shaking) is excessive.
I will be soon purchasing a GEM to mount either the ZS105 refractor or the 10" GSO reflector on it. The EQ6 is a strong candidate as it is lighter both in terms of its self weight and its cost. The heavier Celestron CGE or the Losmandy G11 come second. I will be using the mount for observing only and not astrophotography.

Any comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards

George
