mounting it wouldnt be as big of a problem as trying to balance the scope afterwards, i think its like a 5 - 1 ratio (?) so for every 1 pound you add at the focuser end you need 5 pounds at the back to even it out.

you could probably get around this a bit by mounting it in the middle of the tube, id just bolt the rail to the tube with a bit of aluminium flat bar on the inside to reinforce it
