Hello all,

for a trip to Hawaii I want to bring a 4 or 5 inch apo. I have a DiscMount DM6, which I know will be more than adequate for 15# of telescope. Having Sky Commander will be important in these unfamiliar skies. Can anyone advise the lightest pier or tripod that I can take for this? I use it at home on a 6 inch AP portable pier, but that's a pain to transport.

Cheers

Robert Howe
