Hi I have a zwo224 camera I’ll be using with no plan to upgrade it for now 👍🏼 I’ve opted for the Azi GTI mount was on a steel tripod as the set up - it’ll be fine for my needs 👍🏼

But not a go to which is what I’m after - go to is essential so it’s more likely I’ll stick with the azi GTI tbh and just upgrade the tripod next year 👍🏼

Unfortunately the heq5 is too expensive for me to consider and I want something portable- I’m considering an SAGTI

Any mount suggestions?

Yes this was my thought also but I was ponding if an EQ would be a better buy - perhaps not ! Although I am tempted by azi GTI mount as it’s a cheap option with a sw st102 included

Thanks I’m just wondering if an EQ mount would be a better long term investment although I agree the azi is a fun system to use

I’m considering buying a new AZI GTI or even GTE for m EAA rig pairing it with the SW ST102 ( m OTA of choice for EAA) has anyone else used this mount and would to recommend it for EAA ? I’m not too hot on the complexity of an EQ mount and would rather avoid having to polar align if possible but if general opinion is an EQ mount is a better investment I’m open to it - any recommendations?

Goodness me! I never intended any of this it was just my opinion, no one has to agree to it , perhaps I will remove this most and contact the admin

Unbelievable tbh - I think there’s some incredibly rude people in here , so disrespectful and disgusting tbh as if I would spot anything without Robs permission- how dare they suggest that

Hard to define what valuable to one person or not ? I think perhaps just ignoring the negatives would be best
