Hey mate, as we discussed, EQ6 pro equitorial mount at the minimum. Otherwise, homemade dob base.
There is a lovely local guy and a member of CAS who makes hand crafted dob bases, Ian Ogilvie. Drop him a PM to see what's possible, at a cost of course.
That's a 2" eyepiece by the way.
Re dark sights, sign up with CAS, there are monthly dark sky events at member properties. And I will keep you posted if some of us nth-siders get together.
Enjoy the big bertha
Logie.
