I have the Orion ST80 scope and I'm trying to find a decent way to attach this scope to Celestron C8.
One solution which has been offered is the Lumicon Dovetail Finder Bracket.
But is this too flimsy ? The Orion OTA weights about 3 lbs and I may add a digicam (+ eyepiece) which adds about 1 lbs.
Any other solutions ?
Any comments on Kens Rings ?

Thank You
