William Optics losmandy universal dovetail bar


Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have bought a 400mm WO losmandy universal dovetail for my 200PDS to use in combination with the original SW Vixen 335mm dovetail to improve stability and also to piggyback my guidescope and RaspberryPi + Pegasus PPA to the top.

I have some issues finding how to use it right and was wondering what other people have done with a similar dovetail and telescope.

If I use the SkyWatcher dovetail, the losmandy ends up in an M8 bolt, the 1/4 threads are too far away.

I ended up with one solution that has one of the holes protuding from the flat face which isnt perhaps too bad, as it might help to stop the losmandy falling downwards on the telescope mount, but its not neat.

Has anyone experience with this dovetail bar?

Cheers

I have upgraded as well and have the same issue! No bolts included!?!? Your image above is useful, but wondering how I am going to connect my redcat and asi air pro no idea what bolts I need. Did you ever find a solution?

thanks
