orion eq mount equivalent

[rolls05]

Hey all. Can any one tell me the equivalent to the heq5 goto in orion? And what would the package size of the mount be.Any one remember? It's just that nz post have started a delivery service from the states. You buy something online and get the shop to send it to the nz post's warehouse address in the states. Great idea. But the max size of parcel is 1500mm x1500mm and 30 kilo. Any refractor will be fine,just not sure about mount.Cheers.

Sirius EQ-G=Orion HEQ5 from memory. It is in multiple boxes but all up with the counterweight if might be 35kg.

:) Hi Rolls , you can get the mount minus its counter weights and that will easily be below the 30kg limit , and at the same time get the
CW's from Bintel , they will turn up about the same time ? or close .
On the 30kg limit you are lucky as here in OZ , OZ Post has only a 20kg limit and they are militant about that as well :sadeyes: . Not 1 gram over ! .
Good luck , great mounts .
Brian.
