Alt-Azimuth Mount or Equatorial Mount for my Celestron 3 1/2 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope?
I use this for terrestrial view as well as for beginner austronomy use. I also use it for a lense on my SLR camera - terrestrial only as I don't have a clock drive.
I'd like to be able to get a clock drive for austronomical photography and viewing and realize that that will require an equatorial wedge or equatorial mount.
But I don't want to restrict my use to just astronomy. Its a great portable scope for a wide range of focal lengths for terrestrial viewing and I don't want to lose that.
I'm also wanting to have a mount with slow-motion cable adjustments.
I'd appreciate all the feedback I can get to help guide me here.
You might consider an equatorial platform. You can make one if you are handy. There also some places that sell them, but they are expensive and usually designed for larger telescopes.
Or you could buy an equatorial mount like the ones in the source and only put your telescope on it when you want to do astronomy.
