Dob to Eq. mount conversion?
If I buy a 10" Dob, say Orion, can I buy a sturdy Eq. mount in the
future, and switch it over? I noticed the Orion Atlas 10 while surfing the net, and it's 1,300 bucks due to the mount. Is it the same scope..and do I need to worry about how to aquire the "big round clamps"? (sorry the lack of terminology there) Thanks, Tom |
