Thanks Sam. Those were made by me. The shaft is 1.244", so if I needed more CW in the future, I could pick them up from Cassidy. Here is a shot of the custom stainless pin that fits where the old CW shaft went. This way, I can return the mount to its original condition without any damage or permanent changes.

Here's my TV76 on the M1 mount that I picked up yesterday. What a fantastic combination. The M1 is just SO smooth . . . I love it!

J.D., that's the same combo I would love to eventually have: a 102 along side my 76. By chance, do you have a pic of the two together, as I've never seen a 102 in person and don't have a feel for the difference in size?

OK, I'll post one after work tonight, if someone else hasn't by that time...

LTZ,

I saved myself some effort and found this photo of a TV-76 piggy-backed on a TV-102 on Ed Ting's telescope review site:
