  1. well isnt that typical.....i just hope the missus doesnt see that on ebay... i will get skinned alive!!! I have been searching ebay and the like for the last few weeks looking for a mount, and none came up that was a reasonable price/distance to collect. The closest i came was last week, when for just a little over £200 inc delivery was a good as new eq5, which afterwards i was glad i did not get, the bloke was advertising it as the mount plus a polar scope, which I now know comes with the scope.. never mind. I got a good deal from first light optics, (see my post above)
  2. Ahhhh,,,, at last. I finally scraped some pennies together and got myself a mount for my telescope. I got myself a Skywatcher EQ5 deluxe (£238) and the dual axis motor kit, (£88) from first light optics. The mount is a lot heavier than I ever thought it would be, I doubt it will move even in a strong wind. I was pleasantly surprised to find a polar alignment scope built into the mount already. The only thing now is to find a patch of sky to look at.... I was hoping for clear skies tonight to get a good look of Saturn while its in opposition...
