Which is the one that Fay uses so surely if she can lug it around then you can too Robert. They are very light.

Thanks guys,  I was looking something cheaper but if I can get one at a low enough price then an HEQ5 SynScan may be an option.

At least it will be quiet.

Many others sound like coffee grinders - not ideal at 2am in a crowded camp site ...

I would have thought the sound of people getting pissed and falling over would have drowned out the noise of the mount

Great reply Mick, I've either spilt my tea or pissed myself laughing

I've got a belly ache laughing at this thread.
I thought for one moment

Which is the one that Fay uses

that you were talking about the hernia truss, and was trying to imagine Fay wearing one, then I nearly got a hernia!!!!!

I think Fay has an EQ5 and I have a CG5 GT same sort of weight I guess and I don't find it heavy. 
Makes a bit of noise when it's slewing.

Sounds like a Meade lx200 GPS slewing.
