Choosing a mount
This is a carry over from the saxon ed80 thread, but I feel this topic deserves its own thread.
I am considering purchasing an 80mm ED but at this time I dont have any kind of suitable mount. Ive been a dob person all of my short observing life, so I know little to nothing about EQ mounts.
Im not looking for a premium astrophotography grade of mount, just something decently steady with perhaps the option of an RA drive. The other possibly conflicting requirement is that I would want it nicely portable for easy transport in the car.
I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.
