IMHO a small Alt-Az mount would be easier ;-)
Please note - PST's are not always "imaging" friendly (They were designed as visual instruments) - there's limited access to the focus. Most webcams/ DMK's will fit BUT DSLR's will definately need a Barlow etc.
The PST is a great introduction to Ha observing of the Sun.
Edit: Just weighed my PST - 1.2Kg
Thanks for the advice!

I have a Meade DSI and Celestron NexImage 5 they should be alright for imaging the sun yeah?

Would I need any additional equipment with the solar scope, can I use my standard eyepieces?
