mmmm maybe

We call a tripod the mount but really the units break down to a "head" and a tripod.

If the eq5 is $800 that sounds excellent v alue... you could be happy doing wide fields believe me,

When I started I disregaurded wide fields as I wanted to get some of those hubble shots but in a dark region wide fields are simply fantastc...so even with a standard 50mm lens you are on your way...with a 70/300 you will have months to save for a scope to add...and I bet you will be happy.
