Finally got all the pieces together after getting frustrated by focus. Added the second rail on the top, Esatto 2" focuser, and Fethertouch micro-focuser. Had a ZWO focuser on there that I was never happy with, mostly because removing the ability to manual focus is maddening - not to mention all the brackets and ancillary stuff needed to make it work. I will likely move to all Primaluce focusers moving forward. Note to ZWO: I was perfectly happy living in your eco-system but the focuser pulled me out, and without a ZWO focuser I need [insert non-ASIAir solution here] which will lead to me not *needing* to buy ZWO any more. 

 

Anyway, then I slapped the camera on to make sure it all fit and took a pic. Zero testing was performed because the clouds rolled in just as the sun went down. 

 

I just had to post the pic because I think it looks like some sort of advanced water heater. LOL

I would also look at the Pegasus focus cube zero for your SCT- only one bracket and it is uber reliable with highly repeatable vcurves- I use two for both my optical systems- Pegasus make some great stuff!
