Skywatcher AZ EQ5 mount
Hi I looked at some youtube videos of this mount and it seems like a good mid level mount. Just wanted to ask here if anyone is using this mount in Singapore and how does it work. The specs do say that it supports latitudes from 0-90 degrees, but some feedback from users would be good. I am a visual...

WTB : Celestron 8 Edge HD
Hi
If you have Celestron 8 Edge HD or 9.25 Edge HD to let go, please drop me a message at nine4Five6 Seven4One4. I have been totally blown over by the views from standard Celestron 8 and would like to upgrade.
cheers
Andy

Re: AZ Mount Options - Nexstar Evolution vs Ioptron Az Mount pro
thanks Bergkamp.. good to hear from someone who has used both. The ioptron "level and go" option seems to be have some very favourable reviews on cloudynights and it certainly caught my eyes. The mount has built in GPS too. some videos on youtube make it appear that the slewing noise on Az...

I tried two different ways 1) Use expressVPN and connect to a server in US and then login and it works fine.. 2) Use Browsec extension in chrome which works the same way as VPN and connect to a server outside Singapore and it worked as well. They have some acessories at very good...
