Simon, thanks for the information. I have bought the steel tube version, not the nice flash truss version you have. Great pics on your site thanks.
Not sure how I am going to get all these adapters and spacers and reducers sorted.

No problems, hopefully the back plate is the same.
Moonlite sell their focused with the right adapter -117mm x 1mm. Contact them before you buy, they will guide you honestly. Go to precise parts in the U.S. and play around with the site before you buy, they are also very helpful if you contact them, but I ordered a Takahashi to t thread adapter from them to get the tak collimating scope to the right thread and it worked.
Re the mount, EQ8 will work well. Bintel in Sydney or Melbourne are the right place to buy from.
For me, the important thing to remember with a more complex scope is to take things slowly, don't rush, but do be specific about what you need help with because there will be a few things that you might want to ask about.
