I'm getting my Marshall 4" monitor today and need information on a suitable bracket to mount it on my Starmaster scopes upper cage.
I understand it has a 1/4" threaded hole. A bracket with an adjustable end would be great.
Anyone have any information to share . I'm open to all sugestions.

Dan congrats on the new monitor, you will love it! I just have mine on a bogen quick release plate attatched to the top of my scope on one of the rings. I wish I had one of the swivels as pictured above though!
Here is mine...

Dan, This swivel head was off from Polaroid mini tripod. I got those from Wal-Mart years ago. The adapter bottom base has 1/4"x 20 inch thread. Check around in local photo or Wal-Mart or Kmart store.

Jon,
You need more finders, red dot, Marshall, regular finder and a small refractor with a camera. Did I miss any, no kidding what a fantastic looking setup.

Sure enough, missed that one. Where did you get your Marshall? Too, is it the main device you use for locating objects or does you scope find them good enough to view on the Speco. Too, how many focal reducers are you using?

Jon,
I just realized , do you have your finders at the various locations, due to the EQ mount. The small red dot finder is about 180 from the straight through finder. This is where I find the use of an EQ hard to determine a location for the Marshall and why you almost have to have a ball & socket head. Outside I find my Atlas is close to the ground on one side or the other and I finally understand why all the finders. If I had a CPC wouldn't have this problem.
