Thanks Rick.
I assume your using the 8 inch newt on the pier also? How does it fair outside on a tripod?
I want a setup where once I've learned to setup and align properly, that there isn't going to be much extra hassle to take some photos. Would like a mount and scope that could hold up in windy conditions.As I mentioned previously I'm generally quite limited in my time when I head to my spot. So would prefer quick setup, spend half hour or so aligning and getting focused etc, then start shooting for the next few hours.
my spot is on an open plain so generally has at least a bit of wind if not quite a lot most nights.
And judging from other forums/ posts i've read guiding is pretty much essential for subs beyond 30-60secs. which with a dslr is pretty much required I imagine.
If I was to go the HEQ5 pro with 8 inch F4 newt, I can get a full guiding setup also as opposed to the EQ6-R pro and 8 inch F4 newt for the same money....
