I am looking to make a split ring mount. These images are most interesting. The best commercal example of a split ring mount that I have seen to-date is the JMI Next Generation Telescope (NGT) series.

To reduce the size of the "ring", most designs place a counterweight behind the mirror cell to lower the balance point of the OTA and thereby reduce the distance from the balance point to the lower end of the OTA.
