lightweight mounts

Hi all,

I'm looking for a lightweight, fairly cheap mount. I've just ordered
an Orion ST80 and I need something to put it on. I'll be carrying the
whole thing on a plane so ideally it should be light and preferably
fold into a compact bundle.

Any ideas/preferences? How about Borg? (I know, it's not cheap but
I've seen one going second hand)

cheers

Jeremy

I am just awaiting delivery of an EQ3-2 (GEM1 actually) and will have an EQ1 undriven in good nick
for sale by the end of the week. EQ1 is not *quite* big enough for my 102mm with the Fuji cam
attached.... but should be spot on for an 80mm ST.

Make me an offer ?

Low cost, but add 10 quid for postage to UK.
