Seriously, the mounting bracket does have its uses.
Im sure thats what it was designed for, but I found that with the tripod I use (Vivitar 3000) once I added the camera it really struggled to keep balance as I moved it around. Maybe Im doing Orion an injustice and should blame the tripod.

Certainly doesn't detract from the great optics.
