Hello,
My family and I will be traveling to Australia from Canada this August. I will be traveling with my scope in order to take advantage of being able to view the magnificent objects which are simply not visible from the Northern Hemisphere.

In order to minimize my luggage requirements, I am attempting to locate and rent/hire a suitable mount. For the scope I will be bringing I currently use an Atlas EQ6. As it is a very light 4" scope (Borg 101ED), I'm sure the HEQ5 would also be suitable.

We will be staying near Cairns. Does anyone know where I might find someone who will rent/hire telescope mounts?

I look forward to your response and being able to communicate with this group more regarding questions on observing in the area.

Thank you in advance,
Barry
