A list of EQ mounts?

[Fishie]

Hello guys.

Can I have a list of some great EQ mounts? I'm thinking of buying a new mount. Thanks.

I have a number of questions -

• What are scope you proposing to put on the mount?
• Will it be for visual, planetary imaging and/or deep sky imaging?
• What is you budget?
• Do you want it set up permanently on a pier or do you need something you can easily move?
• How much experience do you have of amateur astronomy?

I assume you're going to be imaging with it - no point in buying a premium EQ mount otherwise. Your location is listed as HongKong so perhaps the USA mounts are available to you without crippling import taxes, in which case Paramount and Astrophysics are others to consider in addition to those listed above. You need to match the mount to its intended instrument and purpose so please supply that info.

Little out of date in some respects, price and the iOptron iEQ25 now CEM25 is not mentioned. But it is a list.
