Been down all those roads, and I got the WO 'scope with the rings and mount, I just don't like the flimsy post, and there is no way I can find to mount it securely on the Losmandy side-by-side plate.

I went for WO because of their high-end gear and figured that some of that tech would rub off on their bottom feeder stuff. I have to say that I'm less than impressed in the guide scopes locating screws, lots of play, and to me it seems to need need a tighter thread.

But then, what do I know. I'm just a dill that has forked out well over $AU2K, and I realise that is a pittance in this field, thinking that when dealing in light years, tolerances would be critical and manufacturers would be providing gear to suit.
