Recommended Posts

Damn im feeling stupid atm, how can i attach Orion guide scope 60 mm. as seen here: https://www.astroshop.eu/guidescopes/orion-guidescope-60mm-multi-use-guide-scope-with-helical-focuser/p,51934 To my star adventurer? What do i need, been trying to search for something suitable but cant find it... guess i need something for the dove tail, there is a screw there but what do i need to attach here? All help appreciated or other suggestions. Thanks...

I did this with 50mm guidescope by taking the dovetail off the gudiescope rings and attaching a
longish arc swiss plate and then screwing a camera ball head onto the 3/8 screw your indicating.
Then the gudiescope sits on the ballhead if that makes sense.
