My Ultimate Grab and Go setup..... an Original ES Astroscan Made in USA with the ES Parabolic mirror , a fine rich-field scope....
I enlarged the Astroscan base mounting hole and re-tapped the thread to 3/8" and fitted it to my Markins ball head atop the Manfrotto 055CXPro3 tripod.
Eyepiece is the ES RKE28 'Floater'
Ultra Light ...... Ultra Portable ...... Astro Chic
