[quoteThe altaz mode works very well if you are willing to use a telrad/laser and manual slewing. Don't forget to balance properly. I bought the flexible shaft extensions for ease of use.
I actually tried this early in the year looking at Orion. I didn't really like the feel of it. Having heard the success others are having I guess I need to have another go at it. I think I have just made up my mind I don't like the EQ2 and need to reprogram my mindset to get over it - or shell out $300! Thanks All for the ideas.
