  1. Hi all, after a long 5 years hiatus, I'm craving to do some observation and astrophotography. I own an old Celestron C80ED refractor, but I don't have a suitable tripod/mount. This OTA should weight about 2 KG (or 72 oz). I'm looking for a suitable GoTo mount, possibly something not too bulky and not too heavy, as I live in a tiny apartment (on the 3rd floor with no lift) and I don't have a car to carry it 😊 I would ideally use that mount also to do some AP with my mirrorless Fuji camera and some tele lenses, but I'd also love to do the same with the OTA. So the more portable, the better! Budget would be in the range of 400 / 600 quids. I already looked into iOptron and these (new to me) "Explore Scientific" mounts but I'm not 100 % confident wether these are reliable / suitable products or not. Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated. 😊 Thanks! 🙏
