Peter,
If your eventually getting into astrophotography then the HEQ5 Pro is the one I would recommend to start you off.I started off with the Skywatcher HEQ5 pro and after 2 years upgraded to the Skywatcher EQ6-R. I still use the HEQ5 it’s a great reliable mount for AP payloads up to 8 or 9 kilos
By the way Saxon don’t make these telescope mounts, they are made in China by Synta and exported around the world as “The Skywatcher” brand
Go to the Skywatcher Australia website as see if there is a distributor in Tassy, you might do a better price ?
Hope you get some more advice of other IIS members
Good luck !!
