This is a much-needed follow on to my world famous "C14 is a small scope" video. It demonstrates the side mounting technique and shows that there is an easy way to get the C14 into the GEM saddle, which minimizes back strain to practically zero.

Hi Greg,

Great video, I'm a big fan.

Now, can you show us how to mount the refractor in the video?

Gotta go, tonight they are serving Rocky Road! Yippee!

Superb! I think thats the best way to do it. I've been using
a table instead of the chair, but the adjustable height chair
is a great idea, too.
