What will i need to do this, I am guessing a suitable mount connected to the 130P installed at the right spot to allow the 130P to rotate to a vertical position.
Also because of the eypiesce location on the 130P I will have to choose the right height to set up the 130P. I believe i can get a the Virtuoso onto a tripod which would solve this challenge, is that right?

So I will need another Telescope, a Mak, to load on the 130P mount?

I haven't come across so far, if this is the case is there an adapter that will allow me to use a 2inch eyepieces?
Thanks so much for the info
