The 2"stainless legs are the bees knees, they work but they add to the cost, best bet is make some wooden ones yourself,they don't have to be fancy just practical, they need to be at the height you observe at, they don't need to fold down , they can be made to look good with a
bit of stain and varnish.
I made a fixed height set of legs that work with my 4" refractor and my C8, they fit across the boot of the car so they are easy to transport.
coat was about $50.00 with all timber and fittings availible from bunnings
If you buy the EQ5 then this opens a whole new world to you , this mount can be retrofitted with just about any motor/goto combination you can buy.
the one in the pic use's a meade Autostar to drive and goto.
The basic twin axis motors from the maker of this mount can also be simply modded to provide a autoguiding port, so photography is a possibilty,these mounts are used to take good astro photo's.
have fun in your decision
David.
