Default EQ3 mount and 8 inch reflector?

Ok, thanks for the info... I think it's too heavy probably. Just thoughtr I
would ask...


I have an EQ3 that came with a 120mm F8.3 Orion refractor. With the stock
tripod, the vibration problems are significant. I consider it marginal for
this scope. For an 8inch newonian it would be worthless IMHO.
