Hi, Morpheus, I think you'll like the 475. I suppose for maximum stability the 3058 would be better but I got the Saturns for their light weight and an overkill tripod takes away from that. It's nice to just pick up the whole shebang and move it for a better alignment on the next target.
At 150x I noticed a bit of misalignment but my eyes easily merged the images. Certainly not perfect. Kevin said that aligning them is a bit tricky as there is some disassembly involved but I may ask for more detailed instructions. I've been messing with the technical side of things all my life and would be willing to give it a try. If you have to strain hard to merge, it sounds like yours are out quite a bit.
These long 45° bins don't just slip onto a collimator like smaller ones do. I'd be curious how someone like Bill Cook would approach such a thing. (hint, Bill!)
