Looks like there is a universal agreement that the TS AZ5 (Skytee) is a great alt-az mount for the price. I am convinced. Thank you all for your valuable inputs. Now I only have to be patient til my next paycheck rolls in. 🙂 Zsolt

Sounds good! Thank you!

Thank you John! I will certainly look into the AZ5. Quick question: do you think it will handle my refractor without using a counterweight?

Hello, I am looking for recommendations for an alt-az mount that would support my Skywatcher 100mm f/9 apo. I live in Europe, so a EU-based retailer is preferable. I own a Vixen Porta which I love. Very smooth motion on both axes and slow motion controls.make it a joy to use. Unfortunately, it's too light to provide sufficient support for a long tube refractor, like the Skywatcher 100mm. Any reccomendations? I'd prefer something with slow motion controls. Thank you! Zsolo
