Weight distribution issue
Alright so recently I bought an Orion 50mm Guidescope with the helical focus. The reason I got the mini 50mm was purely because of weight. Putting a small refractor would have pushed the limit of weight on my mount so wanted something small.
Now the issue I am having is because the guidescope can only be mounted on the side like the finderscope I am unable to balance the mount.
I know my 6" RCA has some screws at the top to add an additional dovetail but all I would need is to mount the guidescope on the front end or rear end on top of the OTA.
Is there an adapter out there that can do this or would I need to get something custom made?
Any help appreciated!
Stefan.
