Glad you were happy with your EQ6 and Celestron.

The Celestron had a dovetail mount attached to it I presume................and the focussing was not done by a rack and pinion or crayford type?

My 8 inch has very solid tube rings bolted to a vixen style dovetail to suit the EQ6 head and has a standard rack focusser.
Yes it was a dovetail mount - I mean it did vibrate a bit when you touch it, but I wouldn't say all hell broke loose. The vibrations prob took roughly 0.8-1.5secs to settle down.
