Hi everyone, I’m just looking for some advice on EQ mounts. I’m sure questions like these have been asked many times before and can be annoying for many of the experienced astrophotographers. I have read some articles, forums, etc on EQ mounts and I’ve come to conclusion that an EQ mount with a GoTo function is definitely what I’m looking for. Many of the top recommended base / beginner EQ mounts are around £600 to £1200 and completely out of my budget. Whilst I understand this can be an expensive hobby, does anyone have any recommendations of the other cheaper options for EQ mounts with GoTo? Again I appreciate that I could be being naive here expecting it for less but it’s a hobby I’ve wanted to start for years but held back by money. I’d be happy with something second hand on eBay too, so just any recommendations of EQ mounts with GoTo under £500 will get me on the right path. At the moment I’m using a standard camera tripod with basic telescope and DSLR camera so as you can imagine I’m finding it super hard to take pictures or track anything. My aim is to start smaller with moon / planets, but eventually I want to go deeper so I’d rather invest in a EQ mount with GoTo now so I’m prepped for the future and practiced. Thanks for advice in advance!
