Hi:
I have a meade 12" LX200 GPS and have purchase a vixen 4" f9.8 refractor (wt. 9 lbs) as a guide scope for guided ccd imaging. My question is for better tracking and the scope gears, where should I mount this on the scope ( left, right, center). Also what would be the method of mounting this (ie. what type of mounting rings, what size, etc.) I have a dew shiled on the 12" if this matters. Your help is greatly appreciated.
