Questions & Answers

steve p : Want to use this dovetail bar with a Celestron 8. Where do I get rings to mount the scope on the plate?CHRIS H : Hi Steve, This plate is made to attach smaller scopes to it in order to use them on a CGE mount. Are you trying to convert an 8” tube to use with a CGE tripod? Chris
Franklin A. A : I this the same as the Loosmandy mounting rail?HOWARD N : Basically the same thing. Please be sure your mount is not one that takes the Vixen V style mounting plate as this plate is wider and will not work if your mount takes the Vixen plate.STEVE S : No, this is a dovetail bar that will fit losmandy mount, this connects to a telescope's rings, a losmandy mounting rail should have adapters to connect directly to the telescope, without needing ringsPHIL M : Yes - the dovetail on the bottom of this plate is the standard Losmandy dovetail and fits the CGE mount as well as any other mount that accepts a Losmandy rail.JAMES N : Yes.

Great addition.

It is working great as expected! Well made. The V or the dovetail part is large enough to give a sturdy grip on the mount.
