H0ughy, thanks for the link to the thread where you displayed your nice new mount system. Where I am struggling is this: I can see how a long plate with a dovetail on the bottom will accomodate two additional female dovetail (is that a correct description - probably not) mount points - one fixed and one not. That's fine and logical. But both my mount heads (an old EQ3 and a new LXD75) accept the dovetail bar in the polar axis but for this side-by-side system to work, it seems to me the whole head would need to be rotated 90 degrees. Is that normal? Is that what is actually intended. It just seems to me to introiduce all sorts of other issues with setting circles and whatnot.
Peter
