Thanks for comments so far. I realisethat the mount is critical to good photos. Peter's shots are great and I would be delighted if I could do near as well. I am not interested in taking 8 hour exposures in LRGB then spending a week in Photoshop.
A guy at the club recommended a Losmandy G!! mount which looks good but where can I get info on the Gemini software that goes with it? I am wary of eg a US mount with software produced in Germany - I've seen too many problems unsolved because of communications problems in such a set up. The Meade LX200 with the Autosuite/Smartdrive (PEC on both axes)/DSI it seems should work well. Another guy at the club gets results similar to Peter with a C11/Fork/DSI II. The EQ6 seems popular - where can I get a spec/review of that and the sofware that goes with it?
Any comments on the LX90 10" vs RX200 8" OTA? The portability/ ease of set up/ good GoTo performance is more important to me than perfect astrophotography.
Hope I'm not banging on too much!
