Which mount would be the best to use?I have the ED80 and was wanting to mount it on a televue mount and tripod. Has anyone done this? Which mount would be the best choice? What would I use to mount the OTA on the tele head?
I would appreciate any help I can get before I make any purchases.

Thanks,
smile Richard

Richard, Go with the Gibraltor, if you're going TV. Get some rings for the 80 from Orion. Attach them to a piece of hardwood about 10-12" apart & attach this to the Gibraltor head. I guess the hardwood should be 3" wide & 12" long. DR
