Hi JA,
Thanks for the comments :-)
Yes, adding more instruments by minimal increase in counterweight was my intention for this project.
Also using available h/w that would otherwise just collect dust (I am not very good regarding selling anything.. either I give it away or keep it.. especially because some of those bits and pieces were given to me by some members of this forum).

There is a way to add more gadgets, my dovetail bars are quite long (~300 mm), so I can use those places without disrupting the balance too much.
For example, the guider scope (Samyang 500mm f6.3 probably) will be on the C11 side , below corrector plate, attached to ADM bar.


Another improvement will be to run cables (power, USB) through RA shaft, to avoid the mess...
