Mount for Astrophotography?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Urmas, there are plenty of options, but if you want to get serious about it, the bare minimum would probably be the Orion Atlas EQ/G. I have NOT heard anything about the Celestron CGEM, and thats why I cannot vouch for it, yet.
Another one I would recommend is a Losmandy G-11, but it is pricier. (remember though, that for Astrophotography, the MOUNT is the most important part of your equipment)


Clear skies!
