Assuming that I receive my telescope before I die, can we toss around some mounting options that are likely to work well with this scope. I guess that I will go for polar mounting so that I can do some imaging. Does anyone have a few recommendations on reasonably priced (whatever that means) mounts?

I have an EQ-3 that ought to handle a 102 F6. It was marginal with the 120mm F8.3 Orion refractor but if I keep it low it should be OK. I would really like to use it ALT-AZ, I have a Bogen 3051 Tripod that could handle it but I don't have a head that will hand the weight and be stable at higher powers.
