130p let down

[Tinker1947]

I'm also considering a SW130, 150 or a 200.  Forgive my ignorance but what has a mount do with the focus of a camera?  I'm sure it is obvious but for me it is not

The Mount give you a stable platform to place the Scope on, the better quality type mounts allow for images with no star trails, the HEQ5 a couple of minutes, Mesu type price range i suppose 1 image lasting hours could be achieved....a 150/200 P-DS scope on a HEQ5 is a good start point prive wise, then a bit dearer the ED80 onwards......
