EQ5, LXD55, CG5 or similar mount

[mental4astro]

Hi all,

I've got the scope, I now need the mount.

I'm looking for an 8" Meade SCT fork mount. Only main requirement is that the RA motor works. Wedge & tripod not essential. If you've de-forked your Meade SCT, if it's sitting at home bugger all, I have a new home for it. Please let me know what you have.

Fork mount now not being needed, I can still do an EQ5 or similar. See post No. 5.

Thanks thunderchildobs.

Still looking.

I've come to see that for my purposes, EITHER Meade OR a Celestron set of 8" SCT forks suits.

Again, all that I definitely need is a working RA drive. Tripod and wedge would be nice. Age of the unit is of no concern - as long as the RA works. This is just for visual & video use.

If you have something, any of the above, let me know.

Mental.

Happy to also consider an EQ5, or an LXD55, or LXD75. CG5 great too.

No longer needing a fork mount, I'm still interested in an EQ5 or any of it's variants. An RA motor would be great too. I'm in Sydney.
