The SkyWatcher Equinox 80 can be mounted to the Tele Vue 127is with the Orion Guide Scope rings and a 13" dovetail bar.  It is recommended that this arrangement be placed on the SkyWatcher EQ6 PRO mount for best stability.   Below is the arrangement along with the TeleVue Ethos 13mm eyepiece on the Equinox.
