Keen to hear your thoughts on the tripod Glen.

Re the tripod, yes I wanted to see how high and strong it was. It surprised me, it is capable and fairly stiff. I would be using it at a lower height. I initially thought I would use another tripod but think it will be ok now, at least for visual use with my small scopes.
I have been following a CN thread on this little mount and apparently the Star Adventurer Latitude Base ( a wedge) works well to convert this mount to an EQ. If you run the Synscan Pro app you can use the EQ alignment routine.
