Hi Rob,

Flexure - nasty.

I use a pair of Losmandy dovetail adapter plates that have Losmandy guide rings attached to them. I then attach this setup to a Losmandy dovetail plate. All up about $300.

This is quite rigid. I can still get minor flexure but it isn't very bad.

With the ED80 others can comment, but I think the focuser is a bit on the weak side and may well have flexure in it as well.

You may be best to use an extension tube and bypass the focuser or get a replacement focuser.

Greg.
