Hi Brian!
to the forum! We've got a collection of growing tassie members, which is good to see! Spread the word among your southern neighbours!
Another forum member, grandpanancy has the same scope I think (bought from the same place), and his is on an alt/az mount as well, just a camera tripod I think. Search for posts by him and you might see some pictures of his setup.
I think you'll have to go something quality like a manfrotto to be able to hold the scope steady enough, you certainly don't want any slippage of the head or wobbling in the wind.
Daniel is also a forum member (frontieroptics), so you could also try sending him a PM and see what he recommends.
