Having read a few posts about other people who have an equitorial mount, I've started to seriously consider ditching the Alt/Az mount that came with my LX-90 and buy my own eq mount. I read Balaratdragons post on his new HEQ5 mount and that got me thinking (which is always a dangerous thing).

I'd like to know from others who have gone down this path what the pros and cons are of gettig an eq mount. Is it worth it? etc

I do visual atm but want to get into astrophotography in a big way.

I have heard that once you dismantle your Alt/Az mount there no going back due to the complexities in getting it aligned again.

Cheers.
