Here's my recently acquired TVNP101is "Is (Not Was)" (sans finderscope, but I have a few in a drawer that I just need to adapt) on my recently acquired mint Super Polaris ($75 on local Craigslist), with my recently acquired Gotonova goto kit installed (and working fabulously now!), all on my not recently acquired Quickset Hercules ($40 at local swap meet) and Vixen pier extension.
edit: The scope is not that heavy. I had just put the OTA on the saddle for this shot, and hadn't yet adjusted the counterweights!
