I have updated these (the qhyccd.com website is truly nasty). If you click the Update button in the list of Telescopes/Imagers you can get instant gratification.

> 4. The mountings... none of the very popular Skywatcher HEQ5/NEQ6 mounts are listed? OK, unless you are using EQMOD to control them they're basically the NexStar 5/8 but you could show them and still link internally to the NexStar settings??

Currently I don't have a separate Mount resource, so unless the telescope comes with a particular mount, you have to choose it separately. No big deal as far as I can see.
