I believe that they both track superbly, from the pictures i've seen. <br /><br />There both excellent mounts, but I am just not sure what would best suit me. I am fairly new to astro-photography, and (lm challenged at finding objects in the sky) maybe the Atlas is more learner-friendly then the Losmandy. I guess you could say, I really want a mount that will last me a life time. In the future I may want to add on my 8" dob if that has any effects on it. <br /><br />Thanks, <br />Ben</span> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
