Assuming I can't repair or otherwise would have to replace my LXD 650 mount, what would anyone recommend? The OTA with finder, diagonal and larger eyepieces probably would weigh 20 to 25 pounds. As long as I have to put out the $$$ anyway, I would probably also want to eventually be able to do some imaging unless the cost gets prohibitive. I've not been shopping for scopes and such for some time, so I was interested to come across this piece of equipment for a relatively modest price: http://www.telescope.com/control/product/~category_id=bargainsgalore/~produc t_id=09160. ;-) I do like the minimalist design of this series of scopes.
