No, Gary didn't use a long lens support with the 250. The 250 has its own
L-shaped tripod bracket, which was used to secure the lens to the tripod.
An interesting sidenote: The 250 bracket has 4 different screwholes along
the base of its "foot." I've always thought a person was supposed to use
the hole at which the lens/camera naturally balanced, but Gary
enlightened me, explaining that using an UNBALANCED mounting point would
lessen the effect of vibrations. Makes sense to me, now that I think
about it. I guess I've been suffering under "learning interference" from
telescope mounting methods, which demand balanced mounts for the
motorized tracking to function correctly. (D'oh!)
