I've just rec'd my 80ED and need some advice on selecting a mount for it. I would like to keep it as light weight as possible without the shakes. Also would like to occasionally piggyback it on my C8 GPS, has any one had any experience with a scope of this size on an 8". What components would work best. All opinions welcome.

Vixen Polaris mount. Smaller and lighter then the SP/GP mounts - their little brother so to speak. Very stable and typical Vixen Quality. Best mount for the 100mm and less Refractors.
