Yes, I know, he uses robotic scopes overseas, but, he's done well enough with a Titan.

It's quite funny, actually, when it comes down to it. One could spend a squillion dollars on mounts, telescopes and cameras, and still produce crap images which makes one wonder why they spent that money in the first place.

Maybe reading is difficult for some... I'm pretty sure I said, in capitol letters "MOST!!! Pro/Semi-pro imagers use Bisque/AP mounts" Yes, its true, you can achieve pro performance on other mounts. And I'm not saying that the AP and SB mounts are the only good ones in the game.. For example, I use a Skywatcher mount and take 30 minute guided exposures day in day out without problems, its a good little mount, and it does what I require it to do.. its no astrophysics... its not as good as a Losmandy mount either.. but it doesnt have to be given what I do with it.

Sorry that you misread what I said H, and the preface of the whole discussion or so it would seem... I've been pointing out all along that one does not need to spend more and more and more money for the Nth degree of technologically advanced gear to take great images.. I'm glad you agree..
