'go to' mount

Posted By Freddy WILLEMS

Aloha,

Just want to know what the best priced 'equatorial' go to mount is, need one just to hold 5" or 6" refractor and digital camera for astrophotography...
Is the meade LXD 75 or the celestron CG-5 a good deal ?
Are there other manufacturers with good complete 'go to' equatorial mounts ?

Aloha Eric,
GREAT image, lots of detail !!! Love it,
My 14" LX200 is in repair, also waiting for my ToUcam 840, and the wedge for Honolulu, which will be a heck of a tilt at 21 degrees...
Will email you later for your setup, great website BTW....

Achromatic refractors

Posted By Freddy WILLEMS

Aloha
I do not know where to begin..
I have a Meade 14" LX 200 UHTC GPS telescope which is quite heavy to move around.. It now sits on a permanent pier on my roof and it's a great scope.
I just want to go to star parties and cannot take that 14" with me so I'm planning to buy a 2nd scope to move around with, and I since my budget is limited, I was thinking about the Celestron C6R with the CG5 mount, sturdy for viewing and some astrophotography....But since the achromatic refractors all have somekind of false color, is there a filter you can buy that can be screwed on the front lens to minimize this color problem with refractors ??
I really do want an apo-chromatic refractor but can not afford it .. Thanks for emailing me some suggestions.
