Hi Scott,

> told me the "key" is to separate the supports by 45 degrees was

I believe this advice is only for alt/az mounted scopes. 120 degrees should
be best for your scope, since you mentioned that it is eq. I think you will
want to put the supports at the mirror's center of gravity, not towards the
front or back.
