STEP4: Notice that your guidescopes the GWO or ST80 have various mounting threads/ holes underneath. A web image of the GWO 60 is shown below and it has what I believe to be (based on manufacturer specs) a series of three 1/4-20 UNC female threads, as can be seen in the 2nd image taken from below the scope along the mounting bar that links the 2 telescope guide rings. You may be lucky able be able to use 2 of these 1/4-20 threads to mount the scope. One would not be ideal, but you could also drill the losmandy bracket to suit a second hole if required. It depends on the centre distance between the holes. This is something you should check beforehand (preferably in person) with the Losmandy plate supplier as there a differing sizes and hole distances available.
