Howdy guys
as above I have an SE8 and Poita has advised to get a EQ mount for AP
OPT has the
Celestron Advanced Series CG-5GT Computerized Mount on special for $615.00 plus I reckon about $470 shipping.
Then there is the iOptron SmartStar PR GoTo Equatorial Mount for $699.00 plus shipping
Then there is the LX80 Multi-Mount - EQ and AZ Combo for $799.00
Are any of these mounts suitable for what I have and want to do..some of them say suitable for AP..but you guys know more than I
ie is any of the above better than the Skywatcher HEQ5
Bintel dont mention anything about PEC on the details for for the HEQ5 whereas the Skywatcher does say it has it ..would the Bintel one have it?...and why do I need PEC ?
The
CGEM Computerized Equatorial Mount [91526] at $1500.00 plus shipping is getting pricey as is the NEQ6
Why do I need PEC
What do I want in slew rates..I note the CG-5GT has only one where as the the CGEM has nine?...whats all this slew rates mean to me..until someone tells me it means absolutely nothing
is any of the above cheaper units better than say the Skywatchers HEQ5 and or the NEQ6 at Bintel
Is the NEQ6 (Bintel) the same as thee EQ6 as listed on the Skywatcher web site?
Do I really need the NEQ6 or the CGEM over the above cheaper units
If it was your money what would you get and why?
I know OPT wont sell outside of US but there are ways..
The aus $ aint going to stay up there for much longer
