i finished my tri-bar project- its all oak bolted to a steel dovetail that attaches to my mount, it was free to make it since i had all the stuff here, the 66mm is used for imaging and the 80mm ST and as a guide scope, problem was when i adjusted the guidescope it was useless when i slew to another target for anything, i couldnt frame it right in the DSLR, so i thought a 2nd scope aligned with the imaging OTA would be alot easier then taking the camera off and on, i only had a 50mm finderscope to use so far, so im considering putting a 20X 60mm spotting scope in its place, any thoughts on using a spotting scope this?- john

Well that saved $600 versus a Cassidy plate!
