Digz Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi All,Just thought I would say hi (again) I joined last June after purchasing a EQ5 mount which turned out to be faulty and was subsequently sent back.As it turns out I have just finished watching wonders of the solar system with Brian Cox and it has reawakened my astronomy passion which had wained since my experience with the EQ5 mount. So Im now contemplating making the plunge to get an EQ6 pro mount to mount my scope on as I begin to build u my astronomy equipment, but Im finding it hard to make the jump and spend all that money. So whilst I ponder this I shall be dipping in and out of the forums, reading posts and hopefully getting to know you all a bit better.Hopefully Ill see you all around :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi again Digz, an EQ6 is probably the most mount you'll ever need and perfect for astrophotography.By the way, what scope do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rui Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 If you plan to do astrophotography, then the EQ6 is the way to go. For visual work iI find it too heavy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digz Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks Guys for the warm welcome.John, I only have a cheap scope at the moment, so my plan is to get the EQ6 try the scope out on that then eventually (probably sooner rather than later knowing me) get a new scope, maybe a skywatcher 150pl for example.
