The AP seemingly the opposite. Both are very expensive so I threw the losmandy titan in the mix with good PE for the price. However, with the release and early results of the eq8 am I just going too far over the top, will this mount suffice? Help me spend my money please  .
Current equipment
FSQ106EDXIII
Canon 60d (will upgrade to ccd and focuser later)
Orion short tube 80 with ssag
Would like to get a telescope with a longer fl maybe gso rc10 or something?
Thanks guys |
I am with Ernie about the PME. I bought mine second hand and some issues but all it working well now. It is a beautiful mount, provides great data, easy to work on and carries a big load. My recommendation is to keep and eye on Astromart or here for second hand PME's. It will be cheap and affordable, but working well too most likely. I would doubt anyone will have the trouble I had but if you do I can help. I know these mounts inside and out.
