Thanks to all for your advice. I will try to do a 2-star alignment with the camera in live view and see how I go. If that doesn't work I will use the EP and diagonal and then insert camera and rebalance on the fly. I have marked the dovetail and counterweight bar as per the DSLR combo so providing I'm careful I should be able to make the adjustments. The flip mirror sounds good, I might look into that. I think I might need a focal reducer as well but I haven't run the above setup yet because I got caught with clouds rolling in at sunset. As for the focuser, it has 8 fine black hex screws on the bottom as well as the chrome knurled clamp bolt. Do the fine screws need to be adjusted (tightened)to stop the slippage? Thanks to everyone for your advice.
