SkyWatcher EQ6-R dovetail compatible?

[Peter Reader]

Hi all,

I have a SkyWatcher 200P from circa 2012 (with a black rather than green dovetail as the newer models have) mounted on a new EQ6-R Pro (pictured). Is the dovetail on my telescope compatible with the mount? Looks to be clamped awkwardly...

Many thanks

Hi - I think it is OK - apparently the stock saddle doesn't clamp very well according to Astrobloke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-egFak5ZU

 

I have the E6R Pro and ADM replacement saddle although I haven't fitted it yet.

Mine looks exactly the same with a new green dovetail…..it will be fine

It is Ok. I’ve had a 200PDS (green dovetail) with all the AP gear attached and no issues. Now a 130PDS with the same dovetail and no problems either. 
Good mount, by the way. I’m very happy with it.
