For those times I don't want to set up my main scope, I would like to plant a post in my yard for quickie observing with a modest refractor, 5" or less diameter. Can I buy just the EQ portion of the mount without the tripod? A manual verserion is perfectly ok. I would like to bolt it to the post and leave it out all the time. However, it would be nice to remove and put on a tripod for road trips when I don't want to lug out the big scope.
Is this possible? Where would I find one? ANy guesses on cost?
I'm getting lazy in middle age.
Thanks,
Clear skies
