Didn't this Cris Ellis (spelling of 'Cris' from his own website) ask if you want or need a mount? 
Strange service if he didn't. 
He is the same fellow who claims to be the Founder of the 'Astronomical Society of Melbourne', which doesn't really seem to exist

Yes, Ken. My opinion from first and second hand dealings? steer weeeell clear.
Ben, I'm guessing a weekend arvo, some timber, screws, glue, a few tools and some help from some IIS helper elves and you'll have a beauty of a telescope. Keep us posted on your progress.
