Lordy, that AP mount is huge!
Now I want to see what you put on it.

I just got a Meade 16 inch ACF SCT and it is a bit heavy (~ 70lbs) to put it on by myself, so I starting to figure out how to make a carrier that will hold the scope in position to allow me to attach it to the Losmandy Dove tail on my mount with out help.
