I bought ANOTHER Sharpsky recently - still working out the mounting details, but trial runs off scope are excellent.
Customer servie is OUTSTANDING - Dave is one heck of a guy. He custom drilled my adapter twice now for the Vixen and the Takahashi. No charge, just did it. He helped me through step by step determining if the Sharpsky will work precisely with the f/3.6 system, which it does.
Not wanting to remove ANYTHING from the Tak (I have a habit of misplacing things), I am getting my machinist to turn up a compression type adaptor (will post pics when I get it), and the motor itself I made an angled bracket for that mounts to the Losandy plate, NOT to the scope in any way (and it is still more than rigid enough, using 3 mm thick aluminium bar stock).
Just to actually use it now.
