Thanks for the answers. The scope in question is likely to be a SkyWatcher BD-MAK150 and the spotting scope is a Celestron Regal 80mm ED. The spotting scope is quite heavy and long (c 1.6kg) so it needs something reasonably substantial to support it.

If a "two-scope" mount is not feasible, how can I fit a spotting scope to a SkyWatcher (Vixen?) style mount?

Thanks!

John
