Which Mount would you get?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Jeff, if possible, I would spend the extra money and get the EQ6/Atlas...(remember that GOTO is an add-on to this one)
If NOT possible, then probably the new Celestron CG5-GT...

Indeed Alan...
Besides looking UP at night, big part of the FUN is looking at all the equipment, talking to old/new friends, buying/trading accessories and listening to the conferences...
