Any ideas for an equatorial mount and tripod for a 20 pound refactor? I am not interested in imaging. I would like to have a good goto system as well. Really would want something relatively light an portable? any ideas or favorites? thanks howard

How long is your refractor? I have a Celestron CG5 ASGT and it carries my AP130EDFGT fine for visual and even planetary imaging. A good used CG5 GT or the newer AVX should work for you if your refractor has similar specs to the AP130.

HTH,
