Paul, IMHO, the LXD-75 is not geared towards imaging, even though it has some features that might say otherwise...
I have 2 friends that had them, and got so frustrated with them that ended up selling them and getting an Orion Atlas, which I consider the best bang for your buck... without going into the major leagues.
I really like seeing people getting involved with Astroimaging, but at the same time, I'd rather have them go into it "prepared", than to go into it, get frustrated, and abandon the idea...
The mount is THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the Imaging Equipment List... everything else is icing on the cake...
