Your advice is much appreciated, and I'm looking back to the HEQ5 to see if it's possible to travel (by air) with that. Obviously carrying the counter-weights with me is out, but I'm thinking now of using one of those collapsible canvas buckets (Australian Geographic) and filling that with water to balance the scope at the other end. Mad, I know, but I'd really like to beat the challenge. Any further thoughts will be appreciated.
Regards,
Mel
