Seriously consider a Vixen Sphinx on the HAL tripod, very light but very sturdy, I have had a 29+ lbs on mine and done imaging with that load. Starbook is so easy to use as well.

SkyWatcher 120ED PRO, GSO 200mm F4 Astrograph, Meade 10" SNT, WO 72ED & 66ED
Vixen Sphinx and Vixen Atlux with starbook,
QHY5 guider, Modded Canon 1000D, Baader MPCC.
WO Flattener III

Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work."

TV is called a "medium" because it is neither rare nor well done.
