Which mount for imaging
I've been doing live viewing/video astronomy/electronically assisted astronomy using my cameras (ASI224MC, Canon 450/550 modded). To do this I'm stacking 5sec - 1min subs in sharpcap live. My old CG5 goto mount is okay for that - using an 80mm APO, or an 8" SCT (with focal reduction).
But I'd like to try some imaging, so have been doing longer subs 2 - 10 min with guiding - using my 80mm APO with an ST80 guiding. As you can imagine my mount isn't quite up to that.
So what sort of mount might I look at ??
I'd been considering an NEQ6, but have seen that Bintel is selling off the Celestron CGEMs which makes it ~$500 less than a new NEQ6.
Any advice ??
Thanks, Chris
