Just some good strong double sided sticky tape does the job if you really want to put it on the frac.

I have tried the sticky tape but there is no where physically to put it on the scope as the rings are spaced too small for the length of the Telrad..

Maybe get graham to make you a bespoke metal "bridging" bar that attaches to each tube ring and then attach the telrad to that bridging bar :)

Had my first attempt with the mount and new scope last night Felix, took about 3 hours to get the hang of it, even doing it set by step with the Astronomy Shed videos.. I must of adjusted the reticle by accident so took an hour just to get that into position again but all sorted now..


 


Only got a couple of quick subs off before the clouds called time on the session but the results I got were fantastic compared to what i was getting..

That's great news Steven :) I did say it takes a while but once you have the routine down it'll take you only 20 or so minutes to set it all up. Once you get align master installed and up and running too you'll get some great subs coming in. Glad the mount is working out wel so soon. Will lol forward to seeing the results.
