Hi all,
I have a Universal Astronomics Unistar Deluxe mount on a heavy wooden surveyor's tripod with a standard Bogen spreader. Nice mount! However, I am trying to mount (don't laugh!) a C11 OTA on it. The good news is that it almost works. The scope seems a little heavy for the mount, but it is usable, except for the tripod. When it is sitting on concrete, the legs will shift around and the tripod will get off center. If the spreader was more rigid and held the legs in the same position, it would be much better.
Does anyone know of a more heavy duty, rigid spreader for this tripod, and where I could get one? Thanks much for any advice!
