This is an excellent deal on a great quality dovetail. Honestly, this about the best bang for your buck you can get. And I've looked around at all the options for a C8. Farpoint wins hands down by far at this price ($37 at time of this writing). Note that Farpoint has recently increased their prices on these thought to be more in line with other top quality dovetails (ADM, Losmandy, etc.) so grab it here for cheap on Adorama while you can! Also, heads up that the bolts provided in the packaging may or may not work out of the box. I think they tried to cover many different iterations of the C8 but it's not perfect. I had to cut down the length of two bolts for my scope (an early 2000s Celestar model).

Fantastic dovetail plate. Yes, you will probably have to shop for screws that will fit your Orange SCT. However, the machining of the dovetail is as good as it gets! I will highly recommend this Dovetail made in the USA. Well done!!!

Product works, installed on celeron 8HD, but hardware that was supplied (screws) for the rear were too long, had to use two that I had, and the radius blocks are not true blocks just a bent metal strip and extra think washer. For the price the product is good but will upgrade to an ADM unit in time.

It does what it needs to do, however the kit is missing washers needed to make a solid connection, had to go to the hardware store to purchase them and make it work

I purchased this bar for an edge hd 800 OTA. The bar is the right length, and the holes do line up. I did not like the included hardware; the screws did not fit, and the 'radius blocks' was really one radius block, and a circular thick 'washer'. Although it worked after a trip to the hardware store to buy screws that fit, I think that it is really designed more for the regular 8" sct that celestron sells.

Great product at great price (while it lasts!)
