BTW, are you aware of the Mighty ETX Website - run by Mike Weasner? Link here. As far as the weight issue goes, the ETX mount will handle a DSLR attached to the rear camera port. I'll post a photo for you of my ETX with Canon 400D DSLR attached. Art -------------------- If I like it, the wife says that we can't afford it! ======================================================= Meade ETX105 (a nice "Grab & Go" scope) & Celestron NexStar 6SE with Bob's Knobs. Various EP's from 6mm to 26mm, Baader Hyperion 8-24mm Zoom, a 2x Barlow, 2" diagonal and 7Ah PowerTank. MRF and Antares 8x50 RACI finder scope - both for the 6SE's OTA, whilst the ETX gets a plain RDF. Canon EOS 400D DSLR (un-modded) and SPC900 webcam. Finally climbing the AP Learning Curve!
