Mount For a Celestron C90?

[sportsmed]

I just bought a Celestron C90 and was looking for a decent but cheap mount/tripod to use with it. You guys suggest anything? I dont need some $200 + mount/tripod. Just something sturdy enough to handle it. thanks!

You might as well spend the $200 plus since you know your going to be posting on here in another month or two "Hey guys, I just got a good deal on an 102mm apo! Whats a good mount?" :-) That way you can run both of them on the same mount.

Cheap manually operated azimuth mount. If you can find a broken Meade DS2000 mount with a good tripod... it can be made into a nice manually operated mount for terrestial and deep space. The Altitude axes has a clutch that you can loosen and move the scope manually in altitude. Open up the azimuth base and remove the drive motor and then you can move the scope in azimuth. You will need to make an L bracket to mount the C90. A steel corner brace works.
