Ultra Portable Grab-N-Go Mount

[Liquid360]

I just purchased my ultimate "portable" AP setup. There are some nights when I like to do strictly visual. I have two awesome refractors, an SV90 and an FSQ-106EDXIII. The Tak has yet to work visually due to focusing issues. What would be an good grab-n-go GOTO mount? I've blown my wad so with this purchase price matters.

I would suggest using the SV90 for visual, much simpler than trying to get the Tak sorted.

Does it really need to be goto? How about a simple giro style mount, very quick and easy, cheap and you get to learn the sky too?

I was thinking along those lines also as it would force me to better learn the sky. I'm open to that possibility.

These are a few examples of my setups. You can go lightweight with a decent photo tripod and mini giro mount, or more stable with something like an EQ6 tripod and a Giro III or Ercole mount.

The first four are 76mm and 85mm scopes, the last is a 120mm

I see you've got a good way of fitting a red dot finder to the fc76 - please could you let me know where you sourced this from?

Thanks

Regarding grab and go mounts I like the technosky elle and the vixen porta 2 as shown below
