Oh, I agree, I consider mounts the most important part of the equation. But, even the best mount will not be great if you don't accurately polar align, etc. I've seen people with Paramount ME mounts, whose images have been well, not very good. And they had expensive OTAs too. Just because you have an expensive item, doesn't automatically guarantee that you'll know how to eek the best out of it. Hell, I'm struggling to get 15 second images out of my very modest setup without trailing (and I'm currently losing the battle I might add). I'm sure that once I get my act together, I'll start being able to get better images.
