I'm thinking of a new setup and I know I want a C9.25. I've looked through one, I liked it, price is acceptable. Drool, drool. That's settled. What I need to know is what can I put under it on a budget?
I'm looking at the EQ-6. I have seen the Cloudy Nights reviews and I am aware of the generally positive sentiment towards this mount, but I would like to hear some first hand opinions if any are available. I intend to, at some point, upgrade the mount with DSC's or even GoTo because I have become quite lazy thanks to my current GoTo setup. I would like to know what success anyone has had in this respect.
Is there another mount that might be better suited to me considering that I am on a limited budget? Should I spring for the NexStar GPS setup and get my GoTo and everything at once. I haven't ever had the chance to see a NexStar GPS nor have I seen an EQ-6 so I would be buying entirely on second hand info.
Use will be exclusively visual. Current scope is a Tasco Starguide 4 (AKA Nexstar 4), for what it's worth, and before that I used an equatorially mounted reflector.
Thanks all.
