Need to upgrade from EQ5 Pro

[FireLighter]

I have an eq5 pro currently carrying Skywatcher 200PDS but have added telrad, dew bands, and now my canon 600d with 2" field flattener so the mount is just on the verge of screaming at me. I am hankering after an eq6 but wondered if there was something similar spec'd from other manufacturers ?  Also if anyone is thinking of getting a used but fully working EQ5 pro mine should be available early in new year !

From looking around threads in me research, i think alot of advice you will get is towards a HEQ5 or EQ6 with more recommending the EQ6.

The Skywatcher offerings are generally very good value for money. They have served many people well for imaging. You won't go wrong with one - Personally I'd go for the 6 variety....... EQ6, NEQ6 or AZ-EQ6
