Don't forget, you can always 'Dobinise' your eq. mounted reflector too.

The three I've made, two 4.5" and one 8", work much more smoothly than commercially made mounts. Soooo nice to use.

You can also control the amount of Zenith play with a DIY mount, reducing the challenge of the 'Black Hole'. You won't totally eliminate it, but it just becomes a 'trick' with swinging the scope around.
