The link you provided wrt eq6 mount was last updated in 2005. I know that there were many problems regarding finish and types of grease used. Has there been any improvement in the eq6 pro mount since 2005.
I have recently bought an eq6 pro and yes it was bought to price rather than specification.
I would have loved to spend more on a paramount but here in south africa you take the dollar price and multiply by at least 10.
So you will appreciate R12,000 for and eq6 versus R120,000 for Paramount ME especially if you do not have a permanent observatory.
As soon as my rig is operational i would like to post some of my pix for positive criticism which would help in furthering my education in this fascinating field.
Kind Regards
Steve.
