Default Poll: Orion Atlas vs Losmandy G-11

This is obviously a newbie question, of course, but it's an opportunity
for the knowledgeable readers to hold forth.

One consideration is that the Atlas GOTO system seems to be well
regarded while the Losmandy Gemini (?) GOTO system is not. The Atlas
seems to be less expensive that the G-11, but is it noticeably less
able to perform for astrophotography?

What else am I missing here?

Thanks,

Longfellow


Longfellow,

In addition to saa, the losmandy users group on yahoo is another good
place to seek additional, in depth, info on the G-11 mount & goto
options.
