The mount bit is tricky! Now I am very interested in AZEQ5 and losmandy az8 as well as others mentioned previously. I decided to purchase a skyview alt/az to get viewing whilst considering dearer mount options for a time. I am a bit of a mad tinkerer so may end up happy with this mount if it modifies into an acceptable mount.
Looking through the train of componants at the viewing end, I think the sw crayford focuser is going to stay, have pulled it apart and trued up the bearing tracks and main spindle track. After retightening is smooth and stable. May add better clamp to the end of the drawtube. The sw dielectric diagonal claims to be good and has clamp ring so it too can stay for now.
I now need a 45 degree diagonal for terrestrial viewing and some eyepieces and filters. Also after some advice on finder upgrades.
