There are good points coming from all directions. What is important to appreciate is that while the EQ series are not of the same ilk as the top end mounts they have made astrophotography accessible.
Its great to see so many people using a DSLR with an ED80 and an EQ5/6. The results are encouraging and many will make the next step to more refined equipment.
Without this intermediate equipment astro-imaging would still be a dark art practiced by few.
Caveat emptor - John is right, it is pot luck with these mounts and a lot of them have a high PE that will preclude long exposures at higher focal lengths.
