Is there a completely manual GEM EQ mount that can handle a Celestron 9.25" OTA (about 10kg + diagonal, EP etc.), for purely visual purposes? Preferrably one that's quite light as well?

If I can get a simple to use one that doesn't need motors and alignment, that I can plop down on the ground, point towards Polaris, and be off viewing with the minimum of fuss, then I think I would get to use the OTA a lot more than I do at the moment, which is basically never!

The other alternative is to get a dob, but then I'd have another scope hanging around... :icon_eek:
