Great shot Alex, specially if your seeing was not cooperating...

Keep it up, as I found out it is not as easy as 1-2-3, and it takes lots of time, patience, good focus, and good seeing!



Take care,



Ivan

Piggyback Scope Mounting

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

I actually have them on my 10" LX-200GPS, and use them to hold my ST-80 on top of it. So far I have not seen or had any issues with them.

Of course I'm not mounting anything that REALLY stresses them out.

What are you planning on doing with them? How heavy is the equipment you plan of mounting?

One screw is good enough to tightly hold them in place.




Clear skies!
