What are the prices for the above items? What should be a proper goto mount for this scope?

hmmm, I guess the minimum mount for equinox 120 should be GPD, GM-8, EM-10 or HEQ-5 or Sirius EQ-G mount.

I guess the equinox is hot in europe, since many european telescope companies do carry them.

Both the Equinox 120 and the EQ3 SkyScan have not gone into full production yet, as I was told from my supplier.

I was also told that there is an EQ5 SkyScan version already available. Did not get a final price yet, but estimate to be around RM3K.

Also available now are giant binoculars such as these

Personally, I think the EQ3 SkyScan would be ideal for imaging with 80mm scope, with or without guidescope. Long, accurate imaging should be possible together with a simple autoguider which cost as low as RM100.

My NEQ3 will arrive in these 2 weeks, so probably will find some time to test it.

Thanks! Need to have some first-hand information before I buy (another) mount!
