Skywatcher 130m eq3-2 conversion

[Ed the Fox]

Hello all

I was wondering if you could convert a skywatcher 130m and the eq3-2 mount it came with into a dovetail type mount to save all the faff but also for a design feature I have thought of for storage.

Many thanks all.

The 130M is normally supplied with a EQ2 not a EQ3-2 which these days does have a dovetail. To convert a EQ2 you should read this similar thread
