Yes Brian, I can't wait to get the scope on some sort of stable mount to do a non wobbly visual. So far though, all looking up.

I ordered the 50mm Black Alu light clamps from JD Sound this morning and got an email this arvo to say they were dispatched and on road with Star Track Express. Now there is a name to behold. Hopefully they have a warp drive and the clamps get here soon.

I have had a browse at two Alt-Az mounts that may be suitable.
A Vixen Porta II from MyAstroshop and a Bintel Skyview.
With the dovetail plates it seems the Skyview may be winner by price.
I know little else about the mounts and their tripods.
