Fork mount or German for video?

Hi all,

Not sure which forum to pose this question in, so I've put it here,

I'm looking to make a rig dedicated to video astronomy. I have a couple of options for a mount, either the fork from an SCT or a German style (no more sophisticated than an EQ3 with an RA motor).

The gear I'll be using with it will be photography lenses (16mm to 300mm) and a couple of scopes (80mm f/5 refractor & 114mm f/4.5 reflector) coupled to my GSTAR camera.

Anyone have experience in this line of things? I am guessing that it would have similar applications to a dedicated astroimaging rig,

Many thanks,

Mental.
