Hi All

I have the Gold version Skywatcher 180 Pro Maksutov and it has a 2 inch adapter fitted on it which is quiet long and on my Evolution mount it impacts with the base. I have seen an adapter on Scopestuff and some other sites to allow the use of the standard SCT Visual back on these, this would help to reduce the space at the back. However there appears to be some variations in these scopes with differing threads etc. Does anyone have the Gold Pro Mak like mine that can advise me on the right adapter.

Also is there an easy way to add wight to the back, the scope is front heavy with 1.25" diagonal at the back. But the factory vixen dovetail is quiet short and does not allow for a slide on weight.

Any advise help appreciated.

Thanks
