Mount choice
I've been trying to put a wide field rig together, starting with a fast 6" Newtonian built to battleship standards. I've always had a soft spot for the Vixen GPDX, however with a full load of cameras guiders etc, I'm pushing it's limits.
So I need to get me a beefier mount, one capable of carrying around 18kg of scope and cameras, with out of the box PE preferably less than +- 10 arc secs, with reliable GOTO and an st4 autoguider port.
Now for the hard part, my budget is around $1500, I don't mind second hand but it must be supportable by the manufacturer.
I loved using my old EM200 but that is obviously way out of budget.
So... I'm looking for comment/feedback/ideas.
I look forward to your input
