Hi Calton
Just go with what you have and look for a sweet spot...it may work well at fl 80mm..whatever..but that is the first best step.
What you need is an appropriate counter weight so you can mount the camera on the mount just by itself.
Piggy back works but not so good..I found I could not piggy back run the main scope as well..the vibration seemed to great for my liking...
I made a great counter weight for my BWM (Bogan Widefield Mount☺) using a toilet roll center with sinkers set in resin. ..its easy to do..set up the camera on the mount and hang a bag of sinkers to get the weight then make a mold..toilet roll or similar with a central tube for the shaft drop in the sinkers and cover it with resin...paint it black and it looks flash..I added a nut so as to have a fastner but that did not work out ( in could but some resin got on the thread) ...but I hold it in position with some blue tack which works great.
Put your savings aside for the one day I will go narrow band☺.
