I added the SV finder and attached the RDF with double stick tape. Throw in a few classic Meade Super Plossl and UWA EPs, a Power Tank 12 and a dew shield and you have a nice setup for a great little scope!

Or does it mount onto a pier? -Dan Post Extras:       donnie3 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 12/15/04 Loc: bartlesville oklahoma Re: Show off your NexStar [Re: Midnight Dan]       #4189466 - 11/16/10 11:05 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   on my patio deck i have a pier that i set it on. my viewing area is kind of small so i have to get up high in order to see most of the sky. i can set it on just about any solid flat surface, its really portable. i can take the mount off the table and place it back on the tripod if i wish. ill post another photo with it on the pier later. don Post Extras:       donnie3 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 12/15/04 Loc: bartlesville oklahoma Re: Show off your NexStar [Re: donnie3]       #4202971 - 11/22/10 01:22 PM Attachment (101 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   photo of my scopes, adjustable pier and walk ramp. my viewing area is small so i have to get up high enough to see most of the sky. don Edited by donnie3 (11/22/10 01:23 PM) Post Extras:       donnie3 Carpal Tunnel Reged: 12/15/04 Loc: bartlesville oklahoma Re: Show off your NexStar [Re: donnie3]       #4202975 - 11/22/10 01:24 PM Attachment (73 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   another photo Post Extras:       rick rian Seeker of Truth(s) Reged: 08/03/04 Loc: Upper Mid West Re: Show off your NexStar [Re: donnie3]       #4203034 - 11/22/10 01:48 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Great solution, Donnie3!

I'm thinking I could even do that with my LXD75 mount that I always use in the back yard. Thank you for posting. I really like that pier, too. Looks like I could build it.
