I (think I) fully understand what you're getting at, and that's why I mentioned those mounts in my OP. I guess what I was getting at is there must be some point, for the gear you intend to put on the mount, that anything bigger is a waste and the gear is just right. I'm just trying to establish if that point is the EQ5 or the EQ6.
To date I have done all my research online. Today at lunchtime I dropped into a store to see these mounts first-hand. They had an HEQ5, EQ6, and a Celestron CG5. The guys in the store told me that the EQ5 or CG5 would be more than enough for camera and ED80.
Thanks for your thoughts, John. |
This is true but when you decide that you want to guide as well and image through the scope than the bigger mount is an advantage. The EQ6 is beefier and not much more expensive.
I had a GP (good quality vixen ) mount but did find the need for something bigger. The EQ6 fits the bill.
