Assuming the G11 comes stock as it would directly from Losmandy, do I require a dovetail plate or anything like that to mount the scope?
Also are these good quality? http://www.deepspaceproducts.com/d-s...4234_8985.html
am thinking of widefield rig on one side (300mm lens/camera) and the edge on the other |
I would be a little careful going SBS. It adds a degree in complexity when it comes to balance that I dont think is justified. You will also need to have a counter weight system to balance the scopes, despite the ability to slide the SBS on the mount head.

You may find it easier/ cheaper to go for top and bottom D plates with radius blocks designed to fit your scope. Losmandy stocks all you'll need and you can get it through Bintel.

Losmandy also have various camera platforms you can use to mount the camera

Use the KISS principle as much as possible.
