Fantastic Mount for Astrophotography
Rating:
22 October 2021  | 

I wanted to start Astrophotography and Simon recommended HEQ5 with Rowan upgrade which he installed for me. I am really impressed with this mount. It is really simple to use, sturdy and guides well. Thank you Simon for your advice. I will thoroughly recommend both the mount and The Widescreen Centre.
