fsq saddle pic

Hi Martin
I couldn't find a photo of the completed unit by itself. But this photo shows the heavy duty dovetail/saddle rings on an FSQ106ED. The two dovetails are milled from 1" thick plate. I have plans to make another one for myself which has a dovetail below and a female dovetail mount on the top, making it even easier to secure a piggyback scope. I use fixed saddle mounts to carry my guidescope atop the RC truss - one of those Orion x-y stages carries the ST402 guider.
