Thanks for the photos Orion and Astrojunk, much appreciated!!

You guys have so much cabling down there!! Is most of that for the Servocat?
Anyway by looking at your photos, I should be able to machine up something similar. Bought an offcut of black nylon in rectangle form today, which would work ok for the clamps I guess.

Was just out looking at the moon tonight, and it looks awseome through a 7.5mm Tak LE.

The rest of the sky seemed washed out tonight with really thin clouds, so I packed it up for the night. So far the scope moves far beyond my expectations.

With my Tak 7.5mm EP, I could tour around the moon and stars with pretty much zero vibrations. The scope just doesnt vibrate after a movement at all. Even with a high mag piece it barely takes half a second to settle down to a perfect still state. This is a stark contrast to the 12" GSO I used to own which used to take a few seonds to calm down.

Can't wait to get her out to a dark site now!!!
