Thanks again, Thats good news - I am hoping to go down the AP route - Mount for xmas then 3 months to decide the next OTA !

Thank you guys, I just did a search for the vixen dovetail and the nexstar 127 and it said it did have that fitting so thats good news! Spikey, do you notice a big difference from the skymax 127 mount to the HEQ5, I mean I know it will be better but is it much better?

Hi Guys - its been a long time. but I am back in the Astro Saddle finally! I just wanted to know if the Celestron Mak127 will fit directly on to the HEQ5 PRO Synscan Mount with no issues, or will I need to purchase anything extra, Its a pretty penny for the mount and I wont be getting a new OTA untill March, so will be using the 127 Mak for the time being. I searched the forum and seen malc-c's eq5 with the 127 but just wanted to know if the HEQ5 needed anything diffrent? Thank you and clear skies :-)

Awesome pics James - not been out with my Mak 127 for a few months now due to one thing or another....these pics have spurred me right back in to it!

Amazing!

Happy New Year to one and all :-)

Awesome :-) - I cant wait to get my lazy butt out of bed to look at that beauty!

Stuart Loving the pics - Id be interested to know what the tracking is like compared to the 127 when you do have a level ground - im debating either to take the dob route or the eq route in the coming months.

Looking forward to capturing Saturn with my 127Mak - Nice pics for starters :-)

Like it :-)

Very nice :-)

How did I miss this post! Loving the detail :-)
