What would be the best mount for this scope? The EQ5 that North group sells is not the HEQ5, right? I'm a little confused about these mounts. Are they made by Skywatcher, or HiOptic? Anyone know?
Skywatcher has an EQ5, EQ6, EQ5 Pro Syntek and EQ6 Pro Syntek. There is a new one, an NEQ6.
Is there another vendor in China that sells these mounts?

I have mine piggybacked on my VC200L on an EQ6. I can switch around the imager and guider depending on which scope I want to use. Currently the 127mm is being used as a guide scope as I'm taking photometry images through the VC200L but for pretty pics when there isn't any moon around I will probably swap them. I had to add about 8kg of weights to the mount with this combination but it is still well under the mounts rating and will goto accurately. I will usually have my target within a 18x12arcmin CCD frame after slewing.
