Hi all,

I need some help. I've been looking at buying a CG-5, HEQ5/HEQ5-PRO and other starter mounts however it has occurred to me that polar alignment in the southern hemisphere is slightly more difficult, and I have been told that polar alignment scopes are as useful as tits on a bull for us downunder because you can't see the damn stars!

Now, like with most things my budget has double or even tripled to get a decent starter mount for AP, but I've realized that if I'm spending more time getting the thing set up than actually taking photos, it's going to end up on eBay very quickly.

So, are there any decent entry level EQ mounts that are faster to align/setup to a point where you can begin AP?
