And the Avalon binoscope fork mount looks awesome, but is bound to be $$$:

I looked at those Jason, but in the end decided to build my own conversion for the AZEQ6 to top-mount

Congratulations sweet set up.

David, I am carving my name onto the two OTAs to remove any temptation for anyone else to buy them..... I don't know how they will compare to some of my other stuff but I think these should be fine for lunar and planetary viewing and will give much wider true fields for OCs than my last few scopes ... I love being able to view with both eyes, so much more relaxing than mono-viewing.

I will also sort out a more portable mount for quick views.
