I take it that you are planning to set the EQ8 up in the nexdome?

Peter,
Thanks for replying
I also downloaded the whole manual but no dimensions for the tripod feet
I’m sure someone on IIS has an EQ8-R mount , they probably don’t visit the forum that often
Yes I’ve been tossing the idea around for 6 months or so , the NexDome needs an observatory grade mount as I’m upgrading to a Carbon fibre 10” newt and the EQ6-R just won’t cut it at that 18 to 22kg payload , 1200mm + focal length with 5 min + subs
Sort of future proofing the Obs and my imaging
Cheers
Martin
