I really wish I could answer that for you, but it seems many have different ideas about what is aceptable and what is not. I was reading how some folk don't like using the AZ3 mount with the ED80 for observing. I ended up getting the Heavy Duty versions of the AZ3 and have absolutely no problems at all!.
I have even been messing around with a shoot and go camera, but only for land stuff so far. MMMMMMMMMM you ask a question I wish to know...I know that the mount is like Number 1 most important thing...so I would go the HEQ5 as a Bare minimum...Andrews Comunitcation have some good prices for such a mount. If I was going the HEQ5 I would forego the cost of the goto and only spend half the amount on a moterized version...I,d check and see if it's got periodic controll on it (or whatever its called!)
No, you do not need goto...the only reason I will get it, is because it comes with the EQ6 as a standard, or costs next to nothing as an extra.
I know people are getting good results with even just the EQ5, you just have to pick your site a lot better/watch the weather & be carefull and give some thought to the added gear you will be haning of the scope.
Does any of that make sense??
