Very nice set-up!
I have the C11 mounted on a NEQ6 with a Losmandy dovetail.
To make it easier and safer while setting the scope onto the mount I added a safety clamp to the dovetail.
You can then lift the OTA onto the dovetail held from slipping by the clamp while tightening the dovetail holding screws.

The clamp was supplied by Astrodevelopments in the UK, but I can't seem to find their website - may be gone out of business?
You can see the clamp (black colour) at the left of the Orange dovetail saddle.
