Hi everyone,
thank you for the input, experience and info, it’s been very helpful in my decision making. I was so close to pulling the trigger for the Losmandy GM811, but with the advice from you guys, and opinion from old posts, I think the AZ-EQ6 is the better option for me.
Although the Losmandy is a fantastic precision instrument, it would be overkill for me. There are more important factors I need too think about as a novice eg. precise polar alignment, guiding, weather, seeing, patience, image processing etc. none which has anything to do with the choice between these mounts. It’s also obvious that incredible images can be taken by experienced astrophotographers with modest equipment; so its all about learning the skills to begin with.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love a GM811, but only after I’ve gotten the stripes to do such a mount justice. Fox
