Stuart i haven't had a chance to learn that technique yet, with my back and the weather and waiting for these adapters. Now I am on the path to a full recovery I should get a good go at it. Now all I need is the clouds and rain to go

Ok here are some better in focus shots you can see the dual mount bar and the slide adjustment, and the losmandy adapter bar for the c size losmandy bar.

The other side of the dual bar is for a eq6 bar. that means an extra camera, the M500, and being greedy and stereo with another C8 (just kidding have to buy another pentax then )
