I am trying to mount Zeiss APQ scopes in alt az mode on a DM-6 discmount. I thought that the Astro-physics 10" Saddle Plate for Both D-Style and V-Style Bars (DOVEDV10) would do the job, but unfortunately this plate will not close to a small enough width to grab the sliding bar that comes with the Zeiss APQ scopes. I am told that the Zeiss APQ sliding bar is an integral part of the scope in that it attaches to the internal baffles in the scope. I have been reluctant to try putting a different plate or sliding bar on the APQ in order to attach to a mounting plate on the DM-6. I would appreciate any advice about how to accomplish mounting these refractors in alt az mode. Thanks.
