Interesting Josh. I had a look at prices for the HE6 mount on it's own and at $1600 I think it's a bit rich for my blood. Since I'm really looking at a relatively light setup (scope = 2.8kg, camera = 0.3 kg and maye the astrotrac = 1kg) Do you still think It's worthwhile to buy such an expensive mount?
No matter which way I add it up, it looks like this is going to be at least a $2000 investment.
At the moment I'm looking at:
Scope +Astrotec from germany = $ 1250
HE5 mount = $500
T2 adapter +not sure, but probably around $50
Stellarvue FET (to attach the scope to the astrotrac) $60
On top of that, a 90 degree star diagonal and some eyepieces $200?
polar scope $?
Did I miss anything? The numbers are slowly slowly increasing haha. I almost get the feeling that no matter what I spend initially, this is going to be a money pit, as niko says.
