Had a bit of time to address this again.

Just flattened the recess a little more with the Dremel. Not perfect but the mount sits stable. Tightened down with some heavy duty square metal M12 washers.

This is what it looks like...thank you all for your help!

Balancing is a PTA and required an additional counter weight. I think the ES102 is probably better mounted on top of the C925....not sure of how that is best achieved.

Last question is how to house this set up: tempted with another Telegizmo 365 due to its simplicity and cheapness. But while restoring the C925 was fun, don’t fancy the risk.

Other options include a rollaway scope shed, DIY obsy (shed etc) or a readymade dome (nexdome, skyshed etc).

I think I’m too lazy to set up and tear down each time anymore, especially when the conditions are so fickle.

Your thoughts are very welcome
