Update
Just "for giggles" I got a smaller 3" table to hang my faithful 6"f8 moon newt on. Offset it on an old flange mount in the yard and Alt achieves full zenith. Focuser height more comfortable than the dob. The balance is quite acceptable, and with greased threads on the Az flange the offset provides just the right amount of tension. Will put a trendy handgrip/lever on the flange for Az adjustment rather than pushing the OTA. Left the dob side bearings on to store in the original dob mount in shed. Takes less than 3 minutes to setup and for under 100 coupons provides me with an affordable, stable platform.
