I was considering using a really hard wood (read: jarah) for this purpose rather than a aluminum plate, but weight is a concerning factor. I am a metal worker by trade however, Im sure I can get some good Alum to make the plate...
My original plan was to have a dovetail bar mounted to the bottom of a 10~15mm thick plate to attach to the mount, and two of the bintel female dovetail adapters at the ends as seen in your side by side setup.. however then I came to the realisation of weight... Im starting to think that having the guidescope set ontop of the main imaging scope may be the way to go...
