Buying a new mount
Hi all. First post.
Some time this week I'll be impulse buying an EQ mount. It'll be home for a RedCat 51 which I bought a few weeks ago.
I'm leaning towards a Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro. It seems as though it's been around forever and stood the test of time. Plus I see that being able to belt mod it for quieter operation and minimizing backlash is a positive.
But, for some reason, and I have absolutely no idea what that reason actually is, I keep eyeing off the Celestron AVX mount.
For those in the know, who have been into astrophotography for a while, which one of the two would you recommend?
