Carry handle for SW 200P?

[alfingido]

Just completed my telescope collection ( for now ) with a black Skywatcher 200P OTA, hence the clouds last night as soon as the sun went down

Putting the OTA on the mount is relatively easy but could be so much easier with a carry handle on top of the tube.

So, is there such a thing available to buy or am i going to have to cobble one together out of empty washing up liquid bottles and sticky back plastic ( Blue Peter reference for all those yoiungsters out there!)

For my 10" newt I just added another dovetail on the opposite side of the rings to the current one. Works a treat...

Thanks James, probably the best option as it wont need any adjustments or fiddling about with. Wonder where I can buy one of those from ;-)

Well I sorted a handle for less than a fiver. A section of square rolled steel from B&Q and two bolts and five minutes with a drill. Cleaned and sprayed white and Bobs your Uncle. Instant carry handle.
