I'm Looking at two telescope mounts, the Sirius EQ 6 and the Atlas EQ 6 both made by Orion. Plan on using the mount with a short optical tube and a DSLR camera, total about 20 lbs. mostly for astrophotography. The Atlas is about $400 more and can be used for larger telescopes, my question is the Sirius good enough for imaging? with light weight scopes? is the go to function worth the extra bucks?
Thanks.
Jim
