Martin, the idea of using a hose clamp is excellent. For years, I have been using these clamps (bought for almost nothing at Bunnings) for so many purposes other than, well, clamping a hose. But I would have never thought of using one to stabilize an electronic focuser! I don’t intend to buy one for the foreseeable future, as I would like to crawl before I can run, but just knowing that there are easy installment possibilities without drilling is great. Thanks for sharing your procedures.

By the way, my rig is finally complete - except for the Optolong L-Extreme filter arriving in a couple of weeks. Guide cam & scope are set up piggy-backed on the BT200 and PHD2 profile set up thanks to the instructions you sent me. Today I will collimate and wait for what feels like an eternity for good weather.

Thanks,
Stéphane
