i purchase a HEQ5 mount ($1055) or,
i purchase an EQ5 mount ($515) and a motordrive upgrade kit ($280)
the mount and upgrade kit works out cheaper...but would it be worth it? am i better off purchasing teh HEQ5?
or is there an even better option? |
How much weight do you plan on putting on the mount?
This will determine if you need the heavier mount. As for price give them a ring and see what deals they will do. Also try Andrews and
