Piggybacking at1010 to 8"LX200 question on ring st

Is it better to get split rings and mount solidly without ability to adjust or better to get 3point mount rings?

I plan on using the at1010 to guide for the LX200 with a webcam but also plan on using the at1010 for primefocus photography using the LX200 as the guide scope?

What are the opinions out there from folks with similiar setups?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

If you're planning to guide then 3-point mounting rings are probably a better idea as you will then be able to adjust where the guide scope is pointing to allow you to find/center guide stars.
