Thanks Terry. When you say "guide", you mean using the skyscan, goto or whatever it is tracking computer? The mounts I mentioned in store had those. But the EQ6 skyscan was some $500 more than the CG5 skyscan. That $500 difference is half way to savings for the ED80.
Happy to spend that extra money if it's needed. But is it
needed, or just recommended? That's what I'm trying to pin down.
I'm not trying to ignore you guys' recommendations, although it must sound like it. Sorry. I must say you all have me leaning towards the EQ6, but it just means I'll only be mounting my bare camera with lenses only for another few months before I can afford the ED80 to go on.
I must also say that having seen the EQ6 in store, it's going to look ridiculous with my SLR and 10-22 lens on it with no scope.
