What Scotch do you drink?

There was an excellent John Walker advert out some time ago.
You want to take home something you want to drink or rather pay for?

Chinese mounts will remind you time and again why they didn't cost that much.

Brands like Losmandy, Takahishi and Astro-Physics don't cost the $ simply because of some weird status or branding. They are simply built to much higher tolerances, and, work well....for years....

It's like comparing a Hyuandai to a BMW M5....why be shocked when the beemer leaves you in its wake?

If you want to have a bit of fun and don't take astro imaging seriously, get the EQ5/6 .

If you want to take cutting edge images/get published/ win awards...well a 120mm achromat on an EQ6 probably won't cut it.

Cheers
Peter
