Cheers for the kind words Pat! Loving wide field AP. But yes that's the Running Man next to the Orion Neb.
Yeah Eric, tracking and goto on it. The goto is pretty quiet (when the mount is in goto mode it only slews at its top speed of 9), but even at 9 its pretty quiet compared to other mounts. Especially compared to the goto on my Dob.
At the moment I'm thinking carbon fibre 8" GSO Astrograph for dedicated AP. Would go a 10" but with guidescopes, CCD, Filterwheel etc the weight would be too much for the mount. 8" is the safer bet.
