Thanks guys.

I've found that by adding the usual counter-weight on the EP end of the OTA, you can then lower the tripod accordingly to make it more stable. The weakest point seems to be where the telescopic legs join. If you could fully lower the tripod all the way, it would totally solve the mount wobble & dampening time would be down close to 1 sec.

Of course, then you'd need a low-profile matress to lay on to get to the EP!
