Monte said.........A good mount with a cheap scope will always take better pictures than a cheap mount with a good scope. ...
and this is a fair generalisation that newcommers should think long and hard why someone who has been there thinks this way...the mount is it ..does not matter how sharp stars are if PE or other flaws in the mount give you a sharp jiggly electric worm.
I have an eq6 which I am very happy with... but if I had the spare cash would go for something like a Paramount mount... which I rate as the best I have seen to date... well it looks impressive and the work I have seen with these mounts indicates their quality.
