Best modern mount for 10te


Recommended Posts

Around 10 years ago I lucked out on a $150 antique store vintage tasco 10te.  Its a great scope and has great and versatile optics. It has potential for planatery astro. Unfortunately the mount is a problem.   Heavy, sloppy controls and no reasonable way to motorize. I'm only doing visual so I thought a German mount with upgrades for motor and guide scope in the near future.  My first step would be to put a long dove tail plate on it or get 76mm rings and plate combo. Im considering explore scientific german mount with or without the 4.5 inch f4 reflector.  Mount rated to 15 lb.  My tasco plus guide scope would weigh 10.5 lb max.  Any thoughts?  Thanks Hugo
