Thanks so much for the quick reply. Much appreciated. It's already starting to make sense now.

Thanks. I'm dying to get some clear skies so I can get out and try it out. I guess that's the common problem with this stuff. You get a new piece of gear, then the rains come.

"D Style" is the name given to Losmandy rails and saddles, it is the size effectively of the rail. Since you don't have anything at the moment, kick straight into getting and settling on that size.

Now that makes sense. Should I abandon the "Vixen style mount"? The "D Style" is much wider and possibly more stable - would that be right?

You will need a dovetail rail, about 13" long, (ADM make them 7, 11, and 13, plus longer 15" I think).

I couldn't find any ADM on Bintel but found this ...
https://www.bintelshop.com.au/Product.aspx?ID=7575 Is that the type of thing I'm looking for?
As for tube rings, I can't seem to find anything to suit 4.5". Plenty of 4", plenty of 5" but nothing in between.
Cheers,
Af.
