I'm not quite sure myself where I would mount a guidescope.

If there is a will, there is a way. I hope to move the RDF to left and find some mounting brackets for a guidescope.

Have a look at the Cloudy Nights Forum if you haven't already. There is a specific forum just for Nexstar scopes. I have found some very good information there.

With the GPS unit, Would you be able to place it anywhere other than the top part of you OTA?
