I don't know about the first, but if the second is what I think it is, it came with an inexpensive Meade DS90-ATA scope I bought my son a couple of years ago. Let's just say it is pretty challenged <g>.

What type of mount or activity are you interested in?

I see it now, John, from your url. Sorry, I don't know that mount at all. Give the "panning" guy a call and see what he says.
