It's a cry you hear go out to many amateurs who want to start AP/imaging - get a decent mount and the sky's the limit!
Thank you Stephen Yes, I'm actually surprised that the owners of the more sophisticated cams don't go for these exotic targets more often - it's quite amazing what can be picked up with even quite basic equipment. And you're right, a sturdy mount is certainly the key to successful imaging!
