hi all, a couple of quick questions!

1. when they say the L mount (of the W.O. Zenithstar II 80mm refractor) can attach to a camera tripod, do they mean it screws on to the same bolt as a camera? i.e. the bolt on the tripod quick-release plate?

2. the tripod is pretty good - feels heavy and study, but it is missing a quick release plate. it doesnt have a brand mentioned anywhere so i cant just buy a new quick-release plate for brand X, model Y. do i just have to try to get lucky finding another quick-release plate to fit?

i really want to use the tripod it would be a waste not to!

(i do have a lightweight tripod for my camera, i'm not sure it will be good for a scope though)

cheers!
