hmmm, its quite a bit more than the NEQ6 but I think i read its super quick to set up, and generally more accurate. ease of setup is pretty important to me - as i'll have to carry. but then again its almost the same $ as the new EQ8 with 50kg carrying capacity.
A for the FSQ-106ED ... drool! but yes i'm more concerned with the mount than the optics at this stage but am unlikely to have spare money for quite a decade or so ...
I have considered the RC8/10 jjjnettie i'm unsure of its advantage over a newt with a baader MPCC ... although i could use my camera without its eos clip in UV/IR block and go full spectrum (as i won't need the coma corrector). hmmm!
i think i need to do some more research on the losmandy
