Re: WTB : Budget Alt Az Mount
Hi , I may be wrong , but the existing tripod for your astromaster EQ mount may not be compatible with any AZ mount as your tripod plate area is recessed inwards. Not only that, the 2 types of mounts use different sized screws to connect the mount to tripod.
Hope this helps,
