I am definately on the EQ6 rocks bandwagon when you consider what the next mount is in comparison and price it's a no brainer, although boy would i love a TITAN  or id settle for a Paramount heehee |
Shane sorry to pop your bubble but my astro society in NZ Whangarei astro.. has a Titan , brought as a replacement for the Celestron CGE mount under our C14 ,,, the C14 is an awsome scope but . the CGE Well ? more trouble than it was worth the computer would not hold home. ( the mechanics are very good , it's the computer , dont like down under ?) Reverse ?
So we saved and worked for years and got a "Titan" sos... mate same old sh!t . Something about the southern hemesphere ? More trouble than it's worth and no after sales service both and told to SEND IT BACK .. at our expense to USA sos ,, from either .. Bintel ? Thanks . so bro be very careful before you spend your hard earned money , at least Orion will pay postage to here on any product they sell ,,,EQ6? HEQ5 same .
