Gav, if you could run both OTAs at the same time then I would have a NEQ6Pro by now!

You raise a good point, so I could push the scope along with a NEQ6Pro mount to help it slew to an object without having to reset its GOTO ability?

I have seen countless images and a lot of them are great. If anything I prefer the images from a Newt over an SCT. A lot of people seem to have this match of a 10” Newt on the NEQ6Pro. I have signed up to join the ASNSW, just waiting for them to approve my application so I can pay my membership.

That’s interesting Peter, the C11 is bigger aperture yet could be lighter than the 10" Meade. Celestron a little more efficient in their construction?

Also from watching countless videos on youtube of different scopes and mounts. Is it just me or does the NEQ6Pro sound pretty quiet? I mean its not silent but I think I could use slower slew speeds so its not as loud. I have watched a couple Meade LX200 videos and the amount of noise that that fork mount makes scares me! I really have to take that into consideration as well as I don’t want to piss off my neighbours with this high pitched sound at 3am!

Again, this is something I will have to see for myself. But can anyone confirm if the NEQ6Pro is quieter than a Meade LX200 fork mount? Originally I didn’t think about this but it’s something I really have to take into consideration as I need the noise levels to be very low.
