Indeed Mark.. I know I did...
I think it all comes down to you not expecting too much from your gear.. A lot of people have trouble with HEQ5's when imaging with 8" newts, guide scopes etc etc...
My imaging rig, the whole lot - scopes, dovetails, rings, cameras, extension peices correctors etc weighs in at 6.6kgs. thats it. and thats essentially what people need to remember when considering what mount to buy... How much weight do I plan to have in total, What mount will hold 2~3x that weight? The HEQ5 will carry 17kgs... I have 6.6kgs on it and I run 20 minute exposures all night long without losing a single exposure to a guiding error... It ain't rocket science.
