Yeah. I'd love an NEQ6 but the funds just aren't there. They're not really there for a HEQ5 to be honest but sometimes a man just has to take back control of the household funds and deal with the consequences... can't decide whether to buy flowers or a helmet on my way home from the telescope shop...
Thinking I'll wait a month and if there aren't any secondhand HEQ5s available I'll just bite the bullet and get a new one.
Had a look at the HEQ5 specs and it has 800x slewing speed. Makes a lot of sense, maximum time between objects would be about a minute. I didn't realise that the attach-yourself motor drives only have 8x maximum!! Takes an hour to get from one side of the sky to another!! Ain't nobody got time for dat.
Can someone explain what the purpose of 0.25x, 0.5x and 0.75x speeds is? I can't imagine a scenario where they'd be of use...?
