Was only semi-serious... made an alternate decision and will get a mount bar and mount BOTH scopes side by side. Probably - no, definitely- use the ED80 as the camera tube, and keep looking through that wonderful Mak.
NOW I am glad I kept that extra 5.1 kg counterweight that I bought
I think I'll need to max out counterweights on the HEQ5 now! Hope that mount doesn't start going all coffee-grinder on me with all the added weight.
I think I'll get a Vixen NVW22 when I order the double mount bar.... just no-one tell the wife please. When I walked out of Sirius Optics the other day with that little ED80 in it's aluminium box, she stood there with her arms crossed. The "discussion" lasted until I was back in Brisbane city itself... ah red heads, gotta love 'em
