Otherwise, for visual or piggyback photos
the Orian Atlas (Synta EQ6 I think) will work for less money.

Have you tried it? No, I didn't think so.

Worst mount I ever owned (and no longer have (except for its tripod,
which
was fairly decent)), but don't just take my word for it, check the
Yahoo "EQ6" group.
