One further question. Is it possible to mount a SLR/DSLR on an EQ mount directly? I have some decent photographic lenses that are pretty close to coma-free at reasonable apertures, it would be interesting to try to grab some trail-free sky pictures...

Edit: by "is it possible?" I mean: "is it sensible?" and "what sort of adapters would I need?"
Buy (or make) a Dovetail bar. Mount anything you like on it, That's what it's used for.
And the EQ6 is best long term, you won't regret it, although your Credit card might for wee while.
The pain will subside .... LOL
