Mounting a Guidescope onto a C6 SCT

[SuperG]

Does anyone know how to attach a guidescope to a Celestron C6 SCT? There appears to be two sets of screws down the focuser end (one set has the finderscope bracket attached to it). But there is nothing up the corrector lense end. I'm at loss here.

A C6 is pretty small. Why don't you guide through a finderscope?

I made my own mounting.
Two T-braces from Bunnings bend to fit the tube and a dovetail bar of the right size coupled with tube rings made for s solid mount. The arms of the T went on the tube. You may have to drill a few holes for the dovetail and into the T-brace to fit the mounting holes of your SCT.
