Astro74 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Hi, does anyone know the differences between these apart form £10 in cost - payload looks the same and build quality is on a par and both look perfect for my needs , as I’m not interested in high payloads etc any opinion would be welcome also interested how they might compare to the SA GTI as all similar prices Edited March 9 by Astro74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Geoff Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Be aware that the EQ-5 Synscan is a popular mount that works well (I have one) wheras some reviews from EQM35 owners are very negative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zermelo Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Will you be imaging or visual only? There are a few discussions over on CN, for example: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/611308-new-skywatcher-eqm-35-progoto/ https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/752028-eqm-35-vs-eq5-for-130pds-eaa/ https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/714047-skywatcher-eqm-35-pro-or-eq-5-pro-for-astrophotography-with-guiding/ https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/726414-skywatcher-heq5-vs-eqm35-pro/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
