Mount choice for C11 Edge - Sharpcap compatibility
Posted: Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:33 pm
I have a C11 Edge telescope on order which I will use for both deep sky and planetary imaging. I have an EQ6 mount now, but from what I understand it may be undersized for this OTA for doing deep sky imaging. So I am now considering getting a bigger mount.
After doing some reading on the subject there are many mounts that could suffice with the C11, but four in particular stand out as possibilities: the CGX-L, Losmandy G11G, Ioptron CEM 70 and the Skywatcher CQ350. Are each of these mounts compatible with Sharpcap? Do Sharpcap's hardware installation menus easily accept any of these without any issues or the need for additional software or plug-ins? If there any compatibility issues with any of these please let me know. Also if there is a mount I missed that you think would be a great choice for use with a C11 (and also compatible with Sharpcap) please let me know. Thanks!
