DIY side by side (by side) piggy back mount

I had this idea concerning the amount of time spent on an exposure, and how it would be efficient to take 2 pictures at the same time with 2 cameras. The weight would be a huge factor, so I came up with a way to do it with a guide scope and prime lenses. One side I will just have the camera mounted in a static position, and the other is on a ball head. It seems balanced now, and the Orion guidescope can move front to back if need be, and the dove tail is long enough to come into play as well.
Now, only if the clouds and rain would go away, I would love to try this out on the Summer Milky Way.

The long lens on the Yashica is a 200mm f/4, and the Oly lens is a 24mm f/2.8 Sigma that got great reviews.
