Questions & Answers

WILLIAM R. S : Will this bar fit on a NexStar 11 inch GPS telescope? I think I need 4 screws and this seems only to have three (the picture says it is for a c8 telescope - so the picture is wrong.)NATHAN H : It fits, with two additinoal 10-24 Standard standard bolts I sourced from the hardware store.SALVATORE J : it does fit.TRACI D A : Are the screw holes on the NextStar up the center or on the side? They should be in the center. One of the screw holes on the dovetail is longer so you have some wiggle room to position the screw. Also, look at the length of the dovetail bar and compare that to the NexStar. I believe when I put this on the 1100HD that there were various other holes that didn't apply, and other screws like the ones holding the corrector plate parts in place. If it doesn't fit I think you can return it?DUSTIN B : I was able to mount it on a CPC1100 and I believe 90% that I used 4 screws. I'm on travel so I can't verify. I'm not sure of the difference between NextStar 11 GPS and the CPC1100 but I would imagine the OTA is very similar if not the same.
Shopper : Is this what I need to mount guide scope ?ALBERT T : This is the wider dovetail bar which works well to mount your OTA to your mount. You may want the narrow bar to mount on the top for guide scope. The clamp or saddle size will be matched to the bar you choose. This works well so you can move the guide scope and other stuff in relation to the OTA. I hope this helps. AlbertPEDRO V : I think yes, this bar can be mounted above and below the telescope, only needs the adapter mount for this bar. I used it as a replacement for the one that had, it was for a CG5 mountTRACI D A : Yes, if it's the Celestron Guidescope and you have an 11" scope. That's what I used. If it's another type of guidescope make sure that it fits the dovetail.MARLON D : That is correct. It will allow you to mount the guide scope provided it comes with dovetail design as well.JOHN T : If you have an 11" Celestron SCT - Yes. No drilling required just use the provided screws. It was very easy to do. JTDUSTIN B : Yes, I used this dovetail to mount the 80mm celestron guide scope to my CPC1100. I would recommend looking into a counter weight cause its a little top heavy with the dovetail and guidescopeRICHARD W : Maybe- if you are attaching your guide scope to a Losmandy type dovetail clamp, then you will be able to mount this rail to your C11 and put the guide scope in place and take it off again with good alignment agreeement. Alternatively, you can attach one with a piggyback bracket, or with a guidescope mounting kit like Orion sells.CHRISTOPHER H : This will allow the mounting of the celestron guide scopeRATTAPONG S : Yes. I bought this to attach to the top of my CGEM DX 1100 HD Telescope. I have a guide scope which also uses the Celestron 125mm Guidescope Rings.
Joseph J : Is this dovetail compatible with the CPC 1100 Edge HD?TRACI D A : I got it for my 1100 Edge HD optical tube (German Equatorial mount) and it worked no problem. It has multiple screw holes and one is longer for flexibility.MARK S : The dovetail fit My edge C1100HD that came with my CGEM package perfectly. I would assume the CPC series are the same. MarkJOHN F S : Yes, almost certainly. It is identical to the plate that comes stock with the CGEM 1100 Edges HD for mounting the tube on this equatorial mount. The optical tube of the CPC appears identical to the CGEM, just with different mounting hardware. I'm sure you can attach this plate to the CPC tube for piggy-back or guide scope duty.RICHARD W : Yes, this is the part attached to all recent C11 variants to attach to a Losmandy type dovetail clamp. This is what you would need to attach a C11 Edge HD with no dovetail to a CGEM, CGE, or related mount, or to Losmandy, Astro Physics, Software Bisque, or other large high end mounts. However, if you buy either the C11Edge HD as an optical tube assembly (OTA) or as part of a package with a German equatorial mount, it should already have this dovetail mounted on it. The only case where you would need to get this part is if you had a fork mounted C11 (XLT or Edge HD) and wanted to remove it from the forks and use it on a German equatorial.

Works with Nexstar 11GPS

As the Nexstar 11GPS was made in the USA, the bolts included for use with the 11" CPC did not work - I sourced a few 10-24 Standard bolts from my local hardware store and mounted it right up. Be careful on the length, as you do not want to bump into any internal components.
