10" Meade SCT. I just got Parallax rings for it and will be converting from
just plain dovetail/riser blocks to rings. Why? I planned on getting a
short pier for the CI700 so I can mount my 8" f/6 dob OTA on it. The rings
will make it easier to switch scopes. I really don't like lifting the 10"
OTA that high to slide into the dovetail.
