Decisions, decisions... Starting to think about:

(a) Buying a pair of tube rings for the Mak from Parallax, and either bolting the Vixen dovetail to these, or stepping up to a Losmandy plate.

(b) Ordering a DM-4 or possibly the DM-6 from www.discmounts.com and adding an Argo Navis.

(c) Having the pieces made locally for a simple altaz fork. I know its going to cost...

(d) In the meantime making a rocker-box mount that fits on top of the tripod.

Apart from the DM-4 and DM-6, I'm somewhat surprised at the lack of decent altaz mounts suitable for larger scopes and especially the total lack of any that can accurately mount two decent sized scopes in parallel...
