rightguard Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 peter you could have explained the heq5 is a much sturdier mount and can take twice the weight of the eq5 - 18kg vs 9kg.if you are only interested in observing then an eq5 will take a 200mm easily.if you are interested in imaging then go for the heq5.eq5 s/h ~ 100 quidheq5 standard s/h ~ 300big price difference due to stability of each mount.

bcfcciderhead Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I bought my EQ5 from a guy of here (Black knight) who upgraded to a HEQ5, not only does it look the part but the difference in weight is huge, a much heavier mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
