Sure the skyview pro mount isnt as good as the Atlas EQ-G mount but it will definitely work.

Actually Chuusuu is incorrect. The Skyview pro is an equatorial mount with a maximum capacity of 20lbs. The telescope it comes with is betweek 5-7lbs. A standard DSLR camera is 2-3lbs max, mine is only 1.5lbs. That still leaves 10-13lbs free for other equipment. Orion has an off-axis autoguider that is ~$120 and adds barely any additional weight as it is an optical splitter. You can get a guide scope if you prefer that route and those are barely 4lbs.

how much is it for this tripod? i like to take photos of the sky with a dslr camera. id like one of these tripods to take very long exposures of nebulas etc. it needs to be able to follow the intended target. is it smooth running? or would my photos end up blurry? thanks, pickle

@pickledlovesnovas This tripod is specifically designed for the telescope... I'm not sure if there are any modules that will allow for a Digital Camera to be connected to it. I'm sure there are great sturdy tripod specific for Digital Cameras -- you'll just have to shop around.
