HEQ5, NEQ6, CGEM, CGEM DX, AVX or similar mount

No, I'm not turning to the dark side...

I AM sticking to my pencils and paper...

But I do have a few OTAs that do require a sturdy eq mount for when I am not using them on an altaz or as a dob.

I will use it for the occasional video astronomy session and outreach night.

Let me know if you have something along the lines of an HEQ5, NEQ6, CGEM, CGEM DX, AVX or similar.

Thanks for looking,

Alex.

You can push the weight limit for video astro. HEQ5 or avx is enough for an 8", or maybe even a 10".
