Sounds interesting until I saw the price $6350. Ouch. It does sound like a premium mount though and would suit someone where portability is the prime requirement.

Ooh, I never looked at the price ($US 3895), that's too much for a lightweight portable mount.

Hi,
I saw that RST-135 mount too and like it. But the price as you mention is almost equal to my old car.

I added the link to my link collection. Your link was better then the one I saw earlier.

Thanks!

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned the Skywatcher Az-GTi note there is also GTe (cut down version without encoders) can be modified for EQ use, I have seen long thread on CN where people have done this with good results as for long exposure work.

I was looking at this one locally here and have asked if you can get without tripod, but no response yet. This one is modified already for EQ use. http://www.astroanarchy.com.au/Mount...ification.html

That was interesting, I looked at it before but then I couldn't see that it could handle EQ mode, but now I see newer models can. There looks also to be possible to reconfigure it a lot.

Thanks a lot, I added it to my link list of small goto mounts:
