David... the camera is fixed only by its EOS adapter at the moment. The fitting is snug, but does have flexure.

I'm looking at sliding a Losmandy DA under the camera with some sort of thread or cradle to give it more support in round 2.

Focus is by hairy hand and eyeball... not as dodgy as it sounds.. as the STT8300 updates almost in real-time and only takes a few iterations to get it right.
