G'day Peter. The trick in this project is not in the SBS or getting my Tak clamshells attached. The Casady bar works fine for that. It is in getting an EQ8 head at 90 degrees to its normal position. The EQ8 has an auto-align routine built in that finds your CWD position and uses that as it's point of reference. Sort of like Paramounts do. So just spinning the Dec axis 90 degrees won't work.
