I made a wooden mounting rail to mount guide scope on top of C8. I also bought extension shaft to balance this setup. The wooden mounting rail is attached to C8 with 3 screws (one at front and two at the back) which are only threaded 5mm inside the tube. I have then attached dovetail adapter to mount the guidescope. The total weight of the setup is around 7.5-8 kg and after adding imaging accessories, it will be around 9-10kg which I beleive still under the max capacity of this mount. My mount is HEQ5 Pro and worried about weather it will handle this setup properly or not. My other concern is about guide scope which is only hanging on C8 with 3 screws. Please see the photo to better understand the setup.
