Thank you all for your replies. I will have a bit of a read on the net about the mounts and OTAs you have mentioned.
Will a refractor like an ED80 require less collimation than other types of telescopes? i.e. will it be able to take a little more punishment?
As far as power goes, I will be fitting a second battery to my 4wd and running it from that.
Rob, your travelscope looks great and I would also like to see how heavy it is but I think building my own will be a bit more than I am prepared to take on. I would love to hear any tips about transportation that you have after your trip.
Cheers
Alex
