I think the Baader rings might be a good alternative - I have to check their 
website and see how they appear compared to the Losmany rings - thanks for your 
hint. Too bad I didn't think about this at the ATT.

I already ordered the mount (thanks for your suggestion, you brought up this 
issue in me!), but unfortunatly they are still "swimming" on their way from 
Shanghai. Expected delivery date is end of October - pleeaaassseee......:-)
I am really ancious about testing out this mount, I've also ordered a 
"Boxdorfer" steering which will enable me to use my ST4 with the new mount.

Thanks for your reply,  hear you soon!

Clear Skies,
Aike
