View from the backside showing the counterweight load, the cable from the EQDIR inserting into the handbox port, and the dual saddle on the mount. Note the dew heater straps.

The two scopes are mounted to the Atlas EQ-G by way of a Ken Dauzat Heavy Duty Dual Saddle. This thing is ROCK solid and solved a nasty flexure problem on my previous piggyback mount configuration that was causing me "bumps" on my stars
