How have you mounted yours? I am about to pull the trigger on one, but am unsure of a good alt-az mount match for it. So far my thoughts are either Gibraltar/Telepod (Gibraltar5??) head, Giro III, or TeeGul LM. Thoughts?
I have a very nice Gitzo 3530S CF tripod I got off of ebay that is rated at 40lbs- I hope that will be sufficient. I'm not a high power fiend, but I do like things steady and smooth.
Oh- if you have any pics of your setup, I would love to see them!
TIA!

I think a Unistar mount would work well. I use a AP130EDT f/8 on mine. At higher powers it has more wiggle than I like but your 110mm scope should be more compact and lighter.

The WO or Orion AZ mounts might be good. I have an Orion AZ mount and it works well with a 15lb OTA on one side or two 15lb OTAs, one on each side. It's quite stable over 200x and the stiction has decreased with use.
