Skywatcher "SkyTee" altaz mount with stainless steel tripod and eyepiece tray, similar to the Williams EzyTouch, $200.
It's a great grab & go setup if you have a 100mm refractor or 150mm Mak.
Very solid and damps quickly. Has Vixen dovetails on both sides so can carry one or two scopes. I have aligned the dovetails and when mounting scopes they will repeatably stay within about 0.5 degree of alignment. It can (just) carry a 180mm Mak, but this or a 200mm SCT is really too big for this mount.
I'm in North Sydney, you can collect or I'll deliver Sydney area.
Has to go as I'm relocating. Will post photos tonight.
