Thanks, Erick I looked at the BAM one and wondered whether that was the way to go. However, although I don't have the central bar and thus although the bino centre of gravity isn't as well placed it isn't up and down motion that is the problem it is side to side motion caused by the plastic BAP mount twisting. The slightest touch causes it to do that. The BAM mount is the same design as the BAP (rather than an L bracket), is it totally stable or does it twist at all?
Thanks for the other replies, I shall print off those lists and have a try for some of the objects when that pesky moon gets out of the way (though it is very impressive in the bins).
