Very nice. I still have yet to try this. How do you attach your camera to the EQ5, with a dovetail of some sort?

[Moon monkey]

Hi Matt, yes I used a dovetail ... I took the screw thing out of my camera tripod and attached it to the dovetail... I then screwed it into the camera and used washers to make sure it was tight and pointing in the right direction ..... In short I bodged it :grin: Thanks all for the comments
