Hello Folks,
I have a 10" Skywatcher Newtonian on an EQ6 mount. I have recently purchased an Orion 120mm Skyview Pro Refractor that I am planning on using as a guide scope.
I have the original rings on the Orion and I'd like to mount it piggyback on my Skywatcher, but I'd like to be able to point the orion a little off axis so I can pick different guidestars... I could mount the rings directly onto the rings of the 10", but that won't get me that extra bit of movement.
Is there a mounting solution for this? I can add a dovetail bar, but is there a 'gizmo' that will attach the new dovetail to the existing rings on the 10"?
I hope this makes sense...
Cheers,
Paul Mikulecky
