I'm thinking of getting one of these to connect my Dslr to for Astro photography.
Skywatcher AZ-GTI WiFi Go-To Alt-Azimuth Mount Head

Anyone got any idea if this is a good purchase OR is there anything else on the market I should be looking at. Budget is around £250.

Thanks

I think itt's designed for a side mount scope so you'd need a right angle dovetail attachment for your camera either directly or via a suitabe head. There are better heads ie designed for a camera mount. Not sure about the cost though as I've not used a tripod-top head.

Thanks Jan for your reply ... yes a dovetail attachment is available ...

I have seen a lot of praise for the Star Adventurer mount.
