"I hate my Dob's wooden mount already......it would be ok if I was like 2 ft tall on some occassions, I just find I am always in a very uncomfortable position which make viewing all the worse....is there anything wrong with going to a EQ5 mount for a Dob 8...or am I going over board."
Hey Striker,
I'm looking over the older posts and I see you posed pretty much the same question as me when I came along recently. Did you ever put the 8" Dob on the EQ5? The folk here suggested pretty strongly that it wasn't a good idea. My trouble is that I basically like the idea of manouvering through the celestial coordinate system with fine control. BTW I am a cartographer who's job it is to understand terrestrial coord systems so perhaps I'm biased.
