The tripod will probably only fit another EQ6 mount.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Baby Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 They are almost always sold as a pair (mount/tripod) the mount is the expensive bit. Before you rush in - have tou seen the size of one of these scopes. A 10" Dob on an EQ6 is a pretty big beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogjon Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Peter thank you, the thing is that i don't\won't have a need for a motorized mount, that is why, is it the EQ 4\5 standard mount could it not fit on the tripod. Astro, hi i remember seeing a 12" tube on a tripod john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius Varley Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 An EQ3 won't fit the EQ6 tripod, besides that, an EQ3 will not support a 10" telescope. Have you thought about build a dobsonian mount for your tube ?http://pages.sbcglobal.net/raycash/manualv2.pdf Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
