Bargin, EQ5 and Gotostar

Purchased an EQ5 mount and gotostar goto controller from Myastroshop for $549 (+p&h).

Myastroshop was evaluating the the gotostar as a goto option for EQ mounts but apparently decided they were not as good as the Skywatcher units.

So they did the evaluation and sold it off for the above price as "Seconds". Steve at Myastroshop is letting me pay it off over 2 months, a big thankyou to him.

http://www.nightskies.net/scopetest/.../gotostar.html gives an overview of the setup.

Probably going out on a limb here, there is not much Internet activity on this setup compared to SynScan units:

time will tell but for a new EQ5 mount and goto for $549..."tell them their dreamin"!
