Interesting. I have one of those but the scope is not busted. I should take a closer look at it, ie, out of the box it's in.

have a 4.5" Meade reflector with equatorial mount but there's no easy
way to attach to that either... at least in a hurry.

So, those of you who have been taking moon shots... what are you using
for support?  Or do I just depend on IS to do the job.  :-)


      I use the modified equatorial mount that I made from a busted Meade 
telescope a couple of years ago:
