I'm after opinions on the mounting setup for an 8" F6..10kg and a 4" F10..6.5kg guidescope on an Eq6.
The usual configuration is the under and over setup but after seeing a side by side mounting setup I'm wondering whether this is a better option.
To me it seems to make sense to lower the centre of gravity closer to the head, but I'm a dumb dob pusher and have never crossed to the dark side before.
The ODs of the tubes are 9 5/8" and 6". So theres a fair reduction in hieght if I choose the side by side option.
The link below has a pic of the style of mount Im thinking of using. Its the Duo Mount Pic
