That is exactly how the second puck on an AZEQ6 attaches. It just gas a thru bolt in the middle that goes in place of the safety screw.

It would need a bit of car though to make sure you were not simply imaging the tripod legs though! But it would let you image the northern part of the sky through the scope and towards the SCP with a counterweight camera.

It has actually given me a handy idea, I am just a little bit light on for weight to balance my scope with the supplied weights unless I put the extension bar on (Which I do not want to) even without a camera, if I put the puck on it will probably add enough weight to bring me into nice balance.
