John Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 You could see if there is a dealer nearby that stocks Orion (USA) stuff. Much of that is made by the same company as the Skywatcher stuff is. The Orion mount called the SkyView Pro is very, very similar to the Skywatcher EQ5. Come to think of it the Celestron CG5 is very similar as well.You can also buy direct from the Orion company:Orion SkyView Pro Equatorial Telescope Mount | Orion TelescopesJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
