Well kids, after all this time, it finally looks like I'm gonna' be getting a new (and my first) telescope. An Intes M603. I'm buying it from an astrophotographer whose son I'm tutoring and he simply doesn't need it anymore. And it'll be in superb condition. Anywho, question is, I'm gonna' need a mount/tripod but I want something I can pack up in my check in bags when I travel since I'm gonna' be taking it back and forth with me to Hawaii (where I'm gonnna' be going to school). So I need something relatively sturdy, yet portable at the same time. Preferably an EQ mount...but I guess if it's not doable, then I'll have to make do (lol). Any suggestions?
P.S. I'm gonna' bring the OTA with me for carry on and put the mount/tripod in my check in bag(s) so I'll have a little more room to put it (mount/tripod) in. Thanks all.
