sorry i am quite busy here now .. so ill make this a short one
for my c14, i have a carrying handle on the top and bottom of it.
what i do is i added counterweights into it. it is still not perfect
yet but i will wait till i get more counter weights
How did you attach the handle to the front? Just screwed it into existing
holes?

Also, though we have a full aperture Thousand Oaks solar filter, the
F-ration is too short for decent solar or even planetary work. What have you
folks done as far as creating stops to increase the F ratio?
