HEQ5 Pro

[G0JVK]

can anybody tell me if the HEQ5 pro will carry a Meade series 5000 127 ed apo or a skywatcher equinox 120 ed apo pro along with a finderscope and all the eyepieces needed ok, or would the NEQ6 pro be a better option? just for visual observing & not AP.

many thanks

Regards Rob.

The HEQ5 will be fine for those choices of 'scope BUT an EQ6 gives you just that little extra bit of future proofing.

If it is for visual, HEQ5 should have no problem. However, if you can afford an EQ6 and don't mind the extra bulk, then you should get the EQ6. Like Steve said, for future proofing, in case you decide to do imaging or get the aperture fever.
