Help with Scope Set Up - Skywatcher Heritage

[Scoobygazer]

Hi all, I'm having some issues. I was using a table for my Heritage Scope, but it was impractical with a bad back so I made a jig for a tripod. The size was right, but obviously I'm getting wobble. Any ideas out there for something I could put my scope on that will allow me to alter the height and not too heavy? Alternatively is there a 'Newtonian' modifiction you can get to use with a mount? Finally is there any mounts out there I could attach my newtonian to? Any guidance would be very gratefully recieved. Clear Skies.

Any mount with a Vixen style clamp should work such as the GSO ATZ, Skywatcher AZ4 and Vixen Porta II to name a few. There are more options out there of course. I think Nick (cotterless45) modified an old EQ3 tripod or something similar a while back to use with the Heritage and still be able to keep the alt az dob base on it. Please correct me if I'm wrong there.

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the Heritage. Its a pretty versitile scope and i have seen pics of it mounted on the AZ4 and the Vixen Porta II.

Yeah, I think Naemeth uses an AZ4 too, and I've seen an American version of a 130p mounted on an AZ4 too. I nearly won an AZ4 mount, and I was thinking along the same lines too.
