I find that screw mount on the top somewhat unreliable in securing the camera. I made a small flat footed bracket that attaches to the mount rings. The Lunt is great for that with a flat topped ring and several extra threaded holes for attaching other equipment. At one point I had the guide scope (SW80f5), an achro viewing scope (SW80f11) and a DSLR all mounted to a plate I made to fit the top of the Lunt. The achro was aligned with the Lunt so I could take a peek at the target during imaging. Kept me amused in the early pre PC control days.
