Guide Scope attachment

I'm looking for ideas of how to attach a guide scope to my GSO 10" Newt. The guide scope I'm considering is an 80mm ED. I notice some people have their guide scope mounted in regular tube rings above the main OTA and others have them mounted beside the main OTA. I'm using an EQ6 mount and I assume from a weight perspective it's better to keep the guide scope close to the mount.

What off the shelf parts do you recommend and where do you get them? Does anyone have plans/instructions for a home made solution?

Peter
