lighter field mount for AP

[Strawb]

Got the EQ8 in the obs - now looking for a mount ideally an HEQ5 mount or similar( EQ6 even). Will need to be shipped north so good packing boxes (originals would be good)
thanks

Hi Dave
I don't know if this is suitable.

Comes in a case too & is just up the road in Cairns :-)

Thanks Ian - I think its a bit light for an AX103S plus camera etc. Might be Ok for my Ha scope though - sun menu??

I am pretty sure the sun is in there as a Solar System object :-)
