I found a photo of the new Exploradome at our house. I had a green one but ended up using the white portable at home and selling the green one.

That's good to know. Do you think that the pier adapter fits well with your EQ-6? Do you think you could ask if they can make another one for me, please?
If you want, send me a private message, if you wish to discuss offline.
Thanks again, and keep posting more pictures!

You are not going to believe this, but I forgot this post! Maybe it is because I do not understand the working of this forum very well...
I am very sorry, skybsd.
I have been speaking with the operator who made my adaptor, and he has stopped working last summer (because of his age, he is now a pensioner)

At first I thought it was a "before" picture...
It took me a few seconds to recognize it was there.
It does blend in very well!
