My New Grab n Go Setup

[Roy Challen]

I need something that can do everything my Tal RS can, but in a much smaller package. 

So, here is my new to me Skymax 90 mounted on my Vixen Polaris, easily carried in one hand. Doesn't even need the counterweight.

My first ever Skywatcher telescope, I'm impressed, it's very well made and considering it's the older version, it's in great condition too.

Nice setup, Roy👍.

I love the way the Vixen Polaris can double as both in altaz and equatorial configurations..

Looking forward to your first light report😉

Yes, the Polaris is a versatile mount. My long fracs were a bit of a pain as the legs of the tripod are designed for Newtonians, but it's perfect for the little Skymax. I'll be using it for lunar, mainly, and Jupiter and Saturn when they are next visible from my location.

Nice.  I bought a SW 90mm Mak a couple years back for lunar observing and it's served me well.  However, there's a 102ED on a truck somewhere coming my way, so the 90mm might be looking for a new home soon.  I have limited scope storage space.  😉
