Hi,
I have recently had a baby so I don't have too much free time to justify buying a telescope right now, but I am enjoying using my Orion 20x80 binoculars when I get a chance. I am dire need of a mount as it is impossible to hold them steady and my camera tripod is way too wobbly.
I am considering buying an EQ5 as when I have more free time I will be able to buy a good telescope and already have a decent mount ready and waiting.
Would this be a good idea, and is it possible to mount the binoculars on a telescope mount?
Thanks,
Stu
