Hi,

Interested to know what people think of a side by side mounting configuration as opposed to a stacked configuration. I've bought a new mount, astro-physics 1600GTO and it can slew and point a 100kilo setup (not including counterweights). I'll be placing my C14 and Solarmax 90 onto this mount.

Even though these two scopes don't come anywhere near the limit of the mount I'm thinking by keeping the weight of the scope closers to the mount's centre of gravity with a side by side setup that this could be better for pointing and guiding accuracy.

Any feedback regarding pro's and cons greatly appreciated.

Regards

Ray
