Starting again
I am rekindling my interest in AP after an absence of about 20 yrs. I used to run a C8 on a wedge and use stuff called photographic film. Now it seems to have all changed.
This time I have decided to go down the refractor route and have bought myself a Sky Watcher short focus 600/120 mm. I have had one nice night so far and really like the views. Just as nice as I remember the C8 to be. The mount is an AZ3 which is obviously not suitable for AP so here comes my question..... what mount should I get.
I have been looking at the following: EQ3, EQ5, Ioptron ZEQ25 as they all fall into my price range. I am sort of leaning more toward the last two as they may allow a larger scope to be fitted in the future . The other thing I need to consider though is the portability of the thing so don't want something I cannot lug around.
Would appreciate the thoughts of you learned folk on this matter even it is a mount I have not yet considered.
Thanks in advance.
