“JUST IN CASE” bracket
Started getting paranoid about my new (old!) 10” meade sct sliding off the mount because the temperature had dropped and the dovetail screws got loose and 13kgs hit the cement pavers !!!
Figured there were at least two ways to stop it. One... use a nylon cord with quick release hooks, with one permanently attached to the mount and the other end clipping somewhere on the rear of the scope. Two.. make a bracket that fits around the back of the dovetail. Didn't have any cord or hooks so the bracket was the go. I think it would hold, might bend a bit but if it saves the scope I can live with it.
Cheers
Stephen
