I am looking for a lightweight portable mount with an internal battery for my C8.
Also overall reliability trouble free guiding.
or
Celestron Evolution,
Your thoughts or suggestions appreciated?
Jack
Hi Jack,
Do you want to use the mount to do any deep sky imaging? Both links are to Alt-Az mounts which will not be suitable for astrophotography as they will introduce field rotation, unless you use a very short exposure. Alt-Az mounts are fine for visual observing.Peter

Or fit a field rotator before the camera. Not exactly a low-cost option.
The Seestar uses 10s exposures to keep field rotation within its acceptable limits.
Or fit a field rotator before the camera
Or a wedge provided the software recognises this equatorial mode
Here’s the Celestron version.

Looks like a heck of a bending moment on the arm thoughAll, I have acquired a Rainbow Optics star spectroscope its primarily to view the spectra of bright stars and general observing no imaging.
Thanks for your advices,
Jack
