Tablet/book/starmap shelf for Celestron Evo 9.25

[Stout Porter]

Whilst using my 9.25 Evo I kept finding myself looking for somewhere to put down my iPad. I quick trawl of Amazon and I came up with this Stagg music stand. 

Stagg MUS-ARM 1 Small Music Stand Plate With Arm https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000OR7X1S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_0.C6wbSRNHJQZ

It fits quite nicely to the central column of the tripod and the bracket fits in perfectly to the recess in the tray for for the folded legs. I had to fashion a lip on the bottom of the stand to minimise the risk of anything slipping off, but it turned out surprising sturdy and solid. Not sure if it'll work with the 8" or 6" Evo, I believe they have a different tripod, but it's great for the 9.25.
