Why I am after a new mount

This is why I am after a bigger mount for my ED80.

Just have a look at the weight sitting on the poor wobbly EQ1.

The scope and counterweights are just waaayyyyy too much for it
Thats a lot on such a tiny RA axis shaft! And the little motor box is groaning!!!!!

No wonder I only got one good 47Tuc image out of nearly 350 pics!!!
