just a couple of questions to that,

if you'd install the Meade sliding counterweihgt you would knock out the
opportunity for the camera piggybacked back and front bottom - right?
(Cause the screws are occupied)

How do you manage to avoid vibration while taking two exposures at the same time
(hat trick?)?

Didn't you like the Meade counterweight slides - if so, why?

Clear Skies,
