Piggyback flexture: How can I fix this?
I'm thinking of piggybacking a SW 180Mak (5.5kgs) on top of a C14 OTA.
Both top and bottom of the C14 will have the thick Losmandy D plates. To hold the Mak to the C14, I've fitted a pair of back to back two-handle locking saddle plates, take the C14's D plate to the Vixen type bracket.
However, if I discard the Vixen saddle plate and replace it with a Losmandy plate, do you think this would stop any flexture or do you think it would be wiser to get a set of Parallax C14 OTA rings and then, use those the D plates?
The two scopes will ride on a Titan 50 mount.
Decisions, decisions..
