Hi Folks
Thanks everyone who gave helpfull information re guide scope and auto guider.
I am looking at getting set up for full time imaging.the scopes I have a good,the Orion auto guider looks like it will do a fine job.
The only issue now,is my mount its a GP with SS2K,very good,but only a 7 kg payload,so by the time I load her up she might be maxed out.
I did look at buying a GP-DX,but never found one to buy
So I now have to look at other options,I could buy a GPD 2,but I am told these are made in China,not Japan-is that true?,not sure.
The other option is a HEQ 5,I notice at 'Astrofest' its 'wall-to-wall' EQ 6 and HEQ 5,so they must be quite reasonable.
What is the payload of HEQ 5? and where and how much are they??
and are there any issues,from what I here,they cause no problems.
Thanks for any advice,Chris
