I set this up shortly after receiving the Proline camera from Mike a number of weeks ago. This is similar to Chris's QHY9 rig. I milled a double sided dovetail plate and secure the camera, robofocus belt drive and lens via Losmandy fittings. Early tests are encouraging with both a 300mm Pentatx 6x7 f4 lens and a 300mm f2,8 ED Nikkor lens. A 6" f4 CF tube newtonian is almost ready for mating to the Proline rig.

A side-by-side Casady saddle mount works very well with a guidescope added. The Proline and CFW is a very heavy camera rig, so connections have to be very secure. Just have to overcome some autoguide conversion/connection problems with the old EM200 and It will be up and running.
