You'd be spot on I would suggest!  Not bad for bino's though.

I've still got the EQ5, but it will be up for sale as soon (now that the ED80's gone). The Dob is winning on all fronts. I'm looking at getting an AZ mount (maybe a Vixen Porta mount??) for a grab-n-go setup with a mak/refractor/??? further down the track....

Well this year I have a GS EQ mount.
About the same as a eq4. I hope to get a bigger mount later in the year. Maybe Stu's LXD75 or a heq5.
But if $$ are good a Losmady G8 will be the go.

Rob, looks like we were the only two people to tick LXD75. I'm sure there was a few LXD55's in the "other" section though.
I just motorised my AZ3 which is fantastic, I'll post in the ATM section soon, it's about to get even more modified!

Houghy, you know that all the Dob owners will come out of the woodwork and vote on this. I did not read all the thread, so am wondering what you are hoping to achieve here?
