Hi all,

I was out imaging last night and was having no end of problems with my SW AZEQ6 Pro. From stiff clutches making balancing & PA a nightmare, to erratic guiding, I've had enough.

So I'm in the market for a new mount. My requirements are as follows:
- I'm looking to spend up to $5K (less would be better)
- Would need a similar payload capacity to my current mount (approx (20kg)
- Nice smooth clutches so balancing and PA is easier
- Very accurate and smooth guiding (I know this is dependant on a lot of things)
- Obviously a goto

I've looked at a few from Celestron and iOptron, but would like to know what people think of these and other brands (Avalon, 10Micron etc).
