Joo Beng (Astro Bargains) has a very new second hand EQ1 tabletop mount. This mount can be mounted on a Photo Tripod. Thanks. I met Joo Beng last night. He did have an EQ1 tabletop mount, but I wasn't sure it was a 'new second hand'. I think it might not be very stable on a regular Photo Tripod. Mo...

That is a really good photo! It captures the various coppery-red hues very well. Lucky you to be in Australia at that time. Whereabouts did you go in the Northern Territory? What's at Curtin Springs?
