Sky-Watcher AZ GTi Alternative?

[BargeGazer]

With the Sky-Watcher AZ GTi being out of stock everywhere and with no date for availability I am wondering if there are any other alternatives for a simple controlled Alt/Az mount for use with lighter scopes such as the Mak 127 and Explore Scientific 80 that people could recommend.

I have an HEQ5 but there are many occasions where a lightweight Alt/Az with tracking would be very useful.

Alternatively does anyone have the inside knowledge as to when the GTi will be available.

Thanks

David

Hi David,

why don't you order it from Germany, it seems to be available there and then inside EU, no fuss:

Anything Skywatcher is a lot cheaper in the UK than Germany so no surprise supplies have sold out first in the UK. If you don’t mind paying more then the German dealers are an alternative.
