after searching through the threads I think I am even more confused then before I was originally looking at getting the CG-5 mount from celestron for my C8. I will mainly be using the scope for observing and some astrophotgraphy with my Nikon DSLR. I am currently using an orion short tube for a guide scope and it has been pretty effective thus far. I definitely want a goto scope, with a decent PEC within my price range. Now I am torn to spend the extra $200 for the EQ6 ( believe it is the same as the Orion atlas). I will mainly be using the scope around my house, but will take elsewhere a few times a year ( star parties, camping, etc...) Laptop connectivity is a bonus. Right now my other options are looking like the LDX75( with software upgrades) CG-5, Skyview Pro, orion Sirius EQ-G5 ( same as the HEQ5?), and the Orion Atlas. If you have read down to this point I it, and appreciate any and all feedback.
