Two scopes for AZ3..

[mark81]

Hi all, sorry for the basic question...

I currently have the az3 which I mount my st80 on.  I may have a slim chance of getting a 102 Mak from a neighbour but I really don't want another tripod and mount.  Is it workable to set up the mount so I could easily use the st80 on one given night and the Mak on another without too much hassle ( spanners etc) my st80 goes straight into the tube rings which are permanently attached to the az3....

Or, maybe you think the az3 would struggle with the Mak....

Thanks

Mark

The AZ3 should cope with the Mak 102 fine. I used to have a Celestron C5 SCT on an AZ-3 and it did OK with that scope as well.
