Hi All,

I'm looking for...

1. An EQ mount (EQ3 or EQ5), mount head only as I have a suitable tripod.

2. A good quality diagonal for a refractor.

3. Red dot finder to fit an Orion type bracket.

Cheers

Doug:thumbsup:

If it fits on a GS finder base, it will fit the Orion base :thumbsup:

That finder fits the ED80 base, I have one and it works very nicely.

Cheers Joe,
That looks like the type I'm after.
So, down to nitty gritty - how much + postage to SA?
Please PM me to discuss.
Cheers
Doug

I have a Losmandy G8 on order, so I will shortly have a EQ5 mount for sale. It has dual axis drives, but isn't goto

How big a mount do you want, like the post above I have a EQ3-2 with dual drives, non goto that isn't used much too. What's your budget for the items in your list Doug?
