Can someone point me in the right direction webpages etc for mods to my GSO? I want to mod it so I can use my DSLR to take DSO's. I believe some as to be cut off the OTA and the mirror remounted closer to the secondary mirror.
Any info appreciated.

Steer clear of the low profile GSO focusers as an easy path, it won't work and they are absolute rubbish.
Even with modifications to better centre the rollers it still sags badly & tightening the locking screw even gently skews the focuser tube in a big way.
As Mr bmitchell once wrote, "two pieces of poly pipe & some gaffer tape would do a better job". :lol::thumbsup:

Wish I'd had this advice before buying, would have saved the money & bought a Moonlite.
