Sky Watcher Heliofind Mount

[h0ughy]

i must be touched in the head:D, for some strange reason this appealed to me:help:, the Sky Watcher 70/500 SolarQuest Solar Scope with Heliofind Mount. i must be getting really desperate, here i am thinking i can get a solar fix at work, or traveling around. maybe i might entertain putting the ASI 174mm on it to torture me some more, who knows. i love its simplicity in theory:lol: oh how this will improve my life:question: :P :rofl:

just purchased it from bintel - the price got to me just like the clouds and the stinking hot days......

maybe mount the lunt 60 on there.......:question:

Good price Bintel!

Would be superb with a Lunt 50THaDS. Hmm...

[h0ughy]

Was thinking the 60 may work though it is weighty

[AstroJunk]

I bet it will be fine. Looking forward to the first light review :thumbsup:

Just ordered this

for this

Remember it is just 4 kilo capacity

Well it was delivered from bintel within two days, no complaints there though the extra money I paid for cloud insurance didn't seem good value. :lol:

So just unpacked it today, will muck about with it tomorrow :D

[Ukastronomer]

I am told the legs/mount are just adequate for travel so also ordered this
