HI Everyone,

New here and to Astronomy (oldish to life), I have a SW Esprit 80ed with a SW Evoguide 50ED as guide scope. I really dislike the vixen dovetail foot on the scope and want to replace it with tube rings? FLO has suggested these for the tube rings https://www.firstlightoptics.com/tube-rings/stellalyra-101mm-tube-rings-for-sky-watcher-esprit-80-evostar-80100-ed-startravel-102-and-evostar-102.html, the problem is though that the lugs on the "boatwheel" interfere with mounting the guidescope and the ota. Could someone suggest a workaround as I don't know enough about what is available and even what they maybe called as very new to the hobby.

Many thanks

PS First picture in this thread shows the "lugs" on the "boatwheel".
