Yes, mount is probably better, it's just that blackpearl's question was about platforms... Good platforms are probably as expensive as mounts and not as versatile because they're latitude specific. On the other hand, it'd probably be easier to build a sturdy platform than a mount. I imagine that the kind of precision needed for astrophotography would be a big challenge either way.
