Paul,
a talent huh? Maybe, but whatever it is, you have perfected it.
Peter,
I have sent you an e mail. In re-reading your post though another idea has sprung.
If you have a spare Losmandy rail, you could clamp the Tak clamshell to one side. You could then affix a set of guidescope rings to the other, both scopes fitting athwartships.
Lateral balance of the whole setup is acheived by sliding the new rail back and forth in the mount saddle. Separate scope balance is acheived by sliding each scope within its own ring (or clamshell) system.
In the DSBS system you have the rail as above, and also two new saddles, both attached across the rail. To use this new system you would need a rail on the lower of your Tak, and while this isn't a biggie, the clamshell already does what the saddle does, and is lighter, so maybe stick with that.
You will need a decent set of guidescoipe rings, and in my opinion the Losmandy are right up there. In my case I use the rings to find a suitable guidestar for the ToUcam to track on. Not cheap, but well worth it.
