Quick question, where did you get the...idk clamshell (maybe it's called), the piece your scope is sitting in and fastened to the sky watcher? I've been looking for something like that too and haven't had much luck. Probably about 4-5 hrs searching online and I'm pretty good at finding things. Example, this blog, lol. Thanks for the help, looking forward to your response. <br /><br />James Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547852372826738998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18395016.post-44466999293878819742014-10-11T01:02:53.553+08:002014-10-11T01:02:53.553+08:00Hi Mark, the base is about 80mm in diameter, and e...Hi Mark, the base is about 80mm in diameter, and exactly fits the base of a Gitzo tripod.orly_andicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177652962226123898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18395016.post-1697765638362039672014-09-18T04:14:59.756+08:002014-09-18T04:14:59.756+08:00Thanks for posting this info - it's really hel...Thanks for posting this info - it's really helpful. If possible, can you tell me the diameter of the base of the equatorial wedge? I'm thinking of getting the Star Adventurer package and I've got a tripod similar to yours, but it's got a spur that sticks up (for the azimuth screws to lock onto). I'm concerned this might get in the way.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Mark<br /><br />Mark Kilnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03675877524814420424noreply@blogger.com
