I have just completed a tripod mount for the Questar. It includes the following:
- Innorel RT90C carbon fibre tripod
- Williams Optics High Latitude Vixen style base mount
- Custom-built aluminium disc
Note that you need the high latitude mount for use in Australia for mounting the Questar as shown.
I have found that the tripod is rock steady and the WO mount with disc is completely stable with the Questar mounted. I don't feel completely comfortable having one 1/4" bolt to hold the Questar on the mount so I intend to fabricate three soft clips around the base.
I have an as-built drawing of the aluminium disc. It was fabricated from 8mm grade 5085 aluminium and polished after the waterjet cutting.
