It is even (just) good enough for long focal length planetary imaging with a largish chip (eg QHY5), although it is a pain to keep a planet in the field if there is any wind at all.

Hi Ray;
Thanks, I got my mount from Andrews too but they no longer have tracking for it. Im only using an 80mm refractor on it so its rock solid for visual.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether any other brand was compatable with the GSO Skyview.
Cheers
