Megrez 72 on CG4 mount is adapter needed?

[StevieDvd]

Will the WO Megrez 72 be a straight fit on the Omni CG4 dovetail mount or is an adapter suggested/mandatory?

Have read conflicting views on the interweb and have not found a decent picture of the 'foot' on the megrez.

Both are due soonish and would hate to not be able to use them together due to a missing adapter.

TIA

The Megrez 72 foot will fit but it's a bit short really for fitting into your mount, and of course it will mess up the foot. However you can buy a flat topped dovetail that will fasten onto the existing foot.

This dovetail would be perfect, but admittedly it's not chaep.

Try Scopes'n'Skies to see if they have something cheaper.
