I’ve always been fascinated by the possibility to capture some planets with a cheap webcam. As you can see, I can rely on an entry-level setup that consists in a Sky-Watcher 130/900 telescope on an EQ2 mount. In my experience, mount is as fundamental as the telescope itself, probably much more: as you can see from the picture above, a HEQ5 can provide a better-defined result because it is able to dampen more vibrations than the EQ2.
