If you want AZ as well, the EQ6 comes in EQ/AZ form. regards ray

Thanks Ray for your feedback. Yes, you are right, the SW is more than "adequate" (wrong choice of word). Prhaps keeping the 10" is a good solution if I can mount it on an EQ6 or on an EQ/AZ mount. But given that my scope in a truss/collapsible one, I don't know if it can be easily monted on a EQ mount. Can it be done without major modifications? If it is, the combination ofan EQ mount, and 80mm ED refractor + the 10" would work out cheaper than a C9.25, I think.
