That's what I plan to do but on my EQ6 mount. Have you imaged through this combination? I have read up somewhere that people have found it difficult to achieve enough focus with reflectors
Also, is it correct that you need to keep rotating the tube when you slew the scope to other positions? I read up that you can wrap some tubing around where the rings are so you can easily rotate the tube without impacting upon the balance of the system
