heq5 or Celestron Advanced GT

[mgirdwood]

hi all - just a quick run by those more knowledgeable.

i think the HEQ5 is the one with polar finder built in, but with similar carrying capacity what might sway you from the Celestron ?

Imaging use with a smaller 80mm APO is the consideration at the moment

thanks

EQMOD would swing it for me .

Cheers,

eqmod is only a choice on the HEQ5 then ?

It works on the NEQ6 too, but not on the Celestron mounts. The Celestron mounts can work with a laptop, but the interface is not as nice as that which EQMOD provides.
