WHICH DOVETAIL?

[bcfcciderhead]

Just bought this mount of a fellow gazer from the lounge, i need to fit my SW130P to it, at the moment it's on a EQ2 mount via guide rings, so a dovetail fitting is needed to mount the OTA and rings to the new mount, but what dovetail do i need?

Will take a standard vixen plate, think I may have a spare one lying around somewhere

A Skywatcher dovetail bar would fit as well - they are about the same size / profile as a Vixen.

Cheers guys, pm sent Kev.

The only thing is i have no other fixings on the ota so the guide rings will have to be used, i just cant see how a straight fitting will work, keep thinking something with a 90 degree angle will be needed.....GOD MY HEAD HURTS.

Any pics or links to what these things look like would be great

Thought I recognised that radiator from somewhere

Sorry I can't help you buddy, I'm new to all this astro stuff so I'm literally learning as I go along.

Good luck in finding what you need. I'm sure one of the guys on here will be able to get you fixed up with what you need.
