That said the HEQ5 pro which I do own and use regularly is a nice little mount and you certainly will not go wrong by getting one Duncan. Just remember the max Newt tube size is about 8" (depending on who you talk to) and you would struggle if you tried to load it up too much. They are pretty robust and easy to adjust. Pity you cant marry the meade controller to the synta mount because the result would be a damn fine rig indeed. There have been a few people asking if it could be done on the forum from time to time.

yeah, thanks for that mate, it will have an Orion ED80, a Skywatcher ST80, and a Canon D450, it should handle it just fine
