Yes, that was the issue with my dual Esprit 150 rig, flexture between the guided and unguided scopes. It was brought under control by a large alloy bracing plate bolted across the top of the tube rings, a pain to set up when aligning the scopes but saves a lot of frustration thereafter. Hopefully your set up will not need one.

Yes Steve, I have read about your struggle and solution. Will be exciting to see if I can get away without that top connection. Pity that there are no really sturdy dual scope solutions available on the market.

The result of that is not only 13 scopes (not counting Samyang and Canon lenses) and 7 mounts. It is also that I have spent four of those summers building obsies, so I now have four of them.

Sounds like the makings of small business offering observing holidays that does!!  In some places that might be deemed a little OTT LOL!   However, they do all look fabulous all sitting there.
