RST-135 vs EQ6-R Pro

[SAW]

Hi,

Looking to pick up one of these mounts purely for imaging. Sold my HEQ5 Pro a while back and got the bug again so need a mount, I still have a small refractor, camera etc. but I will be looking to use a 90mm refractor and a cooled OSC later on. I am also interested in using the ASiair Plus as I want a minimilistic set up as I don't have a pier I need to set up each time which is one of the reason for selling the HEQ5 Pro. Anyone using the RST-135 with the ASiair how does it perform and is it easy to set up ?

Thanks.

Two of my friends use the 135 with the ASI for astrotripping into the desert. Both seem very pleased.

There are quite a lot of users of. the 135 and the 300 on the Cloudy Night forum.

Early days with my 135E but it works well with the ASIair Pro. Have to use the USB comms mind as the ASIair doesn't have a Wi-Fi driver for this mount. Note that you have to have USB comms set to 'Rainbow', not 'LX200' on the mount (LX200 is used for WiFi control from Sky Safari).
