back to the topic>>>

Is Skywatcher NEQ6 exactly the same as a Orion Atlas EQG?
Will need the Extension Pier too.
I checked the price. Inclusive of the Pier is about less than $2500.

Bro, its HEAVY.......
And I know you're travelling on 2 wheels. Do consider that as well, yeah? :)
As it was I found it cumbersome to deploy my SXW so there were lots of nights I just didn't bother....
DON'T PANIC
