Hello all,
I am returning to Astronomy, after a good while away, and I'm choosing a new scope (not the subject of THIS question) and in doing that I think I have decided on a Sky Watchers HEDQ5 Goto Mount (for completeness the scope likely to be either a 150PDS or 200PDS from Sky Watchers)
HOWEVER, the question here is: would it be possible to also mount a Celestron ETX 125 scope ( I have one of these already, with a very dead mount) onto this new mount. I have noticed two threaded mounting holes - on what looks like a plate - under the ETX and wonder how I could use it.
My thinking is that IF I could get this to work, then I would go for the bigger (SW 200PDS) scope, for home and more important excursions, whilst using the much smaller ETX for short excursions and for camping etc - when the load carrying might pre-clude lugging about the largish 200PDS.
Hoping for some good advice and solution.
Thanks in advance.
Ian.
