I have replaced my home made dual scope bar with an AE version at £79.99 its quite nice, just as solid as mine but smaller, here's a picture.

Looks nice, Chris. Will you be able to move the guide scope a bit if you have to search for  a guide star?

I have guide rings as well, but i.m going to try eq pec, the post pec training should give +-2 arc seconds which should be ok for this setup, if not i'll use the guide rings i have.
