Tripod mount missing! I have received a new Celestron Powerseeker 127 (a 5' short Newtonian), however it came without a tripod mount. 

Ideas or suggestions on how to procure the right mount our a suitable alternative would be most welcome.

I am looking for sourcing tips rather than advice on how to choose a tripod.
A high end photographic tripod would probably work but it will be difficult to make small tracking adjustments. So a proper astronomical mount would be much better.

An EQ2 mount would just about manage a scope of that size however an EQ3-2 would be a lot more stable and have the advantage that you can either get a goto version initially or upgrade at a later date.

If you are on a tighter budget and/or don't want an equatorial mount then something like a Celestron Heavy Duty Alt/Az Tripod or Skywatcher AZ3 Alt Az Mount would be suitable.

All of the mounts mentioned are available from numerous online retailers but shop around as prices can vary.
