what mount will you be using?

For now I'll use my Celestron equ mount until I can get a Skytee for it.

I can't believe it took so long for the TAL to pop up in conversation. They seem to be going for stupid money at the moment so if it is a well corrected achro you want what could be better at £90-£100 than a 100RS ??

Thanks all. Just pressed the button on the order of an Altair 102mm f11 frac from Telescope House. 

Only downside is another cloud penalty coming my way again after this purchase! Yikes!

Congratulations - I hope you really enjoy it and I'm looking forward to your 1st light report

Don't forget to give us a report when the skies clear (November).

Wow! Can't believe my luck! I've just managed to source a 2nd hand Skytee 2 full mount. Weirdly from the same guy that I bought the Orion binocular mount the other week. I know it will be like new too as it will have been well looked after! To say that I'm chuffed is an understatement. Go pick it up early next week, so my new scope will have a great stand to work off when it arrives!
