Three scopes on one mount

[Hargo]

Is it feasible to mount a newt, a frac and a small guide scope on to the same mount.

Could I piggyback them on top of one another or perhaps connect both the frac and the guide to the newt? Supposing of course the mount is super heavy duty.

I will be having 4 scopes mounted on my EQ8 - see this thread.

The only problem is that the guide scope can only guide itself the rest of the equipment follows its motion so any movement or flex in the scopes and mounting plates at various angles could be evident.

Quite right!  That's why I have used a heafty 10mm thick aluminium plate to carry the Evostar ED80s while the guiding is OAG on the MN190.  The plate is fitted to the mount with a Losmandy style 15" dovetail.
