Very nice mount Bill. But seriously, on an EQ6 tripod? That head unit should be on a pier with its capacity and your plans for a 14" scope on it. If it has to be a tripod you could probably buy an EQ8 tripod separetly. Maybe i missed something in reading your posts about your plan for that tripod. Having owned a NEQ6 i know what the tripod is capable of, and it seems to be a weak link in your setup.anyway that's just my opinion. Have fun, and lets see some nice images.
