I had an AT65EDQ and I regret selling it to a friend in NZ. It's a superb scope (heavy for its size) with an amazingly flat, perfectly colour-corrected field. It also works brilliantly on the HEQ5-Pro/Sirius mount. I now use a 6" F/5 Newtonian and the mounting struggles but I could easily take 2 minute exposures unguided and with some effort 5 minutes exposures unguided.

I've attach a (highly compressed) image of the LMC/Tarantula neb that's 15x 4 minute subs taken from the massively light polluted backyard of my old house.
