What is the best type of mount to use a Televue 85 apo for birding and other nature viewing?

Hi Robert,

I use a Bogen Manfrotto 3236 fitted with a Televue Up Swing head.

I'd think that the standard Televue Tele-pod head should work perfectly well for terrestrial as well as astronomical viewing. You can tighten it down for longer exposures, but the balanced altitude and azimuth movements ought to be nice for any semi-action photography, or just plain viewing.
