Yep,
what they said !
I'd advise against an eq mount - especially a cheap one, which comes with not only the difficulties of an eq mount, but also the frustrations of a wobbly eq mount.
Best way to go imho would be a pair of giant binocs with stand for about $450 all up from
www.aoe.com.au, or the 8" dob thats already been mentioned from Andrews or Bintel etc.
Another benefit would be that both these items will withstand a bit of pulling and prodding by the kids
, whereas the wobbletronic will definitely withstand said prodding and poking less well
And welcome (again) to IIS.
