Cheap mount for basic astrophotography?
With Comets Lemmon & Panstarrs putting on good displays I'm kinda wishing I had some sort of tracking mount for some basic imaging. Budget is extremely limited just now and I'm not generally a fan of dealing with GEMs due to space constraints, power supplies, etc.
The Polarie seems nice but I'd prefer something that can carry at least my 80ED with a camera piggybacked on top.
Budget is maybe $600 max and goto not essential.
Seems I'm looking at an EQ3/EQ5 or similar. One of the cheaper Ioptrons maybe, but then field rotation is an issue.
Any other suggestions?
