Hi Darren , I have been doing some research for Grant and he wants to do imaging down the track so needs an Eq mount.

I haven't been able to find much on these SV mounts or the availability of Go-To drive kits for them so feel that he may be better of with an EQ5 or better still an HEQ5 .
At least there is lots of info and after market Go-to options available as well as better drive systems for them due to there popularity.
I know they each have there little problems as I have the EQ6 as you know but a little work goes a long way on the larger mounts.

I have advised him to get the 8'f f6 GS dob to start with and then when funds become available get the HEQ5 mount.
This way if he does loss interest his initial out lay will be minamel.

Grant is not far from me as well so our next Astro night he hope to get along with us.

Mark
