Thanks for the tips, i am aware that the newer versions of the mount now come out with the USB, so befor purchasing i will check that they not sell me the older stock.
I was wondering about the finder scope mount, non of the websites ive looked at mention what type it is.
As for a camera, i have a 5yr old 60D which i was testing out last night only to find the sensor is riddled with hot pixels. then there are Xs marked out by my camera possibly showing pixels that are dead.
Thank for warm welcome and tips
