After a bit of sleep and some conversations with some knowledgable and friendly folk here, I've decided to go with options 1 or 2.
So I'm now in the market for a good quality EQ6 mount. As I want to try my hand as astrophotography I'm guessing something with automation/tracking would be required.
I'm currently looking at:
- EQ6 Pro GoTo / NEQ6 Pro GoTo (these are pretty much the same I think)
- iEQ45 GoTo (iOptron 8000)
- Celestron CGEM Computerised Mount (bit expensive for me though)
Any others I should be investigating?
Cheers,
Af.
