Hi Mike
I mounted the TEC finder base with those two screws in the
GT tube. Fit perfectly. Now I can use the TEC/AP finder or
MRF in that base on the GT. I like the idea that the finder
doesn't have to rotate with the focuser.

Wes, I believe this is a good solution to the two screws on the tube. I would expect AP to at least but a finder base there so that the two screws don't spoil the look of the OTA.

The peel off lens cap can be improved though. Even the cheap Meade 127 APO triplet has a screw on lens cap. Not that I like that, but it still look better than a peel off cap on a nearly 6K AP scope! The TEC lens cap has a really nice touch to it.

Otherwise, I think the GT is a really exquisite scope in the sense that it can be break down for portability.
