mount help......Skywatcher NEQ6 PRO Synscan or neq5 ???

[Gaze Away]

Hi all,

Well I have now decided that Im going for the Skywatcher Evostar 120ED DS-Pro scope with a lot of help on the site (thanks), but now my other problem is whether to go for the neq5 pro or neq6 pro mount. I know these are both good mounts but just wanted some views on the near £200.00 pound difference in price.Is the neq6 worth getting or will the neq5 be good enough for this scope,

Kind Regards,

Andy.

The NEQ6 is a much more robust mount and can carry greater loading, this offers good future proofing. If you can afford the NEQ6, then that's the one I would go for, especially if you want to do some astro-photography later.
