Hello! I currently have an iOptron SkyGuider Pro star tracker, and while it is okay for my mirrorless camera and a lightweight lens, I would like to buy a better mount that I can “grow into” for deep sky astrophotography. My needs are modest now, but eventually I might buy a small telescope like RedCat 51. I would like some advice about whether to save up for a German Equatorial mount like the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi or whether the “harmonic drive mounts” such as the ZWO AM5 are worth the extra cost. I would probably like driving it with an ASIAIR or a DIY Raspberry Pi. Thanks!
