Anyone mounted a dob OTA on an EQ6?

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has mounted a Bintel/GSO 10 Inch dob OTA on an EQ6?

I would imagine it would make for a nice lunar imaging / planetary imaging platform, especially if retrofiited with the JMI Motorfocus unit for the GSO 10:1 focuser and a DMK21......

Any thoughts?

Would make for a much cheaper alternative than for instance a C9.25 or C11, especially if permanently mounted in an observatory.

Cost breakdown would be.......

Bintel or Andrews 10 Inch dob......... $699
303mm Tube rings ........................ $59
JMI Motofocus (GSO 10:1 focuser)... $245
Cheshire Collimator / Sight Tube...... $59

I already own a DMK21, a 2.5x Powermate as well as a 5x Powermate

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Daniel
