I've been using an Orion ST-80 with a Bogen 410 head on the Paragon HD mount, and been very happy with the performance of this set-up. I just acquired one of Celestron's 80 ED scopes, and I think I'm overloading this mount. Does any one have a suggestion for an alt-az mount for this scope that would be: 1) lightweight, and 2) relatively inexpensive? The general idea is an inexpensive grab'n'go set-up. I'd kind of like to keep the Bogen 410 in this system, if it helps to know that. Thanks for any help you can offer!
