Pete, I just moved my tak 60 assembly from my tak 102 assembly to this scope for the sort term but I do have a little stellarvue 60 finder which has a 2" helical focuser on the back end. Once the rings for it show up I'll mount that on a vixen bar on top. The fs60 and other stuff on that losmandy plate are too heavy really, even with 4 counterweights at the bottom of the eq6 bar it wasn't ballanced, but close enough.

Alex, Looks like the strip and regrease did the mount good, it's a lot more stable than last attempt, no more wiggling I'll chop the tube, 25mm will do it, and I'll have a look at a 2" 2X powermate and a new light box I think.
