Hi Kane,
Phil here from Darwin - you know who I am.
Welcome. !! This is a great forum.
Your photos are excellent considering the method you used to take them.
I reckon that with a bit of engineering, you could mount the collapsible dob on an eq mount. I am thinking to connect a long board or plate between the upper and lower sections, so that the board is the full length of the scope. A dovetail plate mounts to the board.
I call it a board, a better description might be “braced section”. Prime construction considerations would be rigidity and lightness.
It would have to mount to the scope in such a way so it did not induce any change in collimation. I’ll do a sketch later and post.
Cheers Phil
