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. 🙂

The TS AZ5 is perhaps heavier duty than you need but will be very solid with your scope. I used to have one but now replaced by a Rowan AZ100.
You can fit long slow motion cables if you want.
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!

Hello fellow star-gazers,
I am the one who started this thread a looong time ago. Still haven't gotten around to get a descent alt-az mount for my SW 100 ED. Lots of you recommended Skytee II / TS AZ5.
Recently I have also found this Vixen Advanced Polaris alt-az. It is lighter and maybe has a better build quality than the Skytee. What do think? Anybody has any experience with this mount?
