Medium 330mm Losmandy Dovetail plate incl. Radius Blocks for Celestron & Meade 8 Code: 30A064C
30A064C
Losmandy style dovetail plate for Celestron C-8 and Meade 8 inch SCTs - includes radius blocks for mounting the OTA securely on an EQ mount. A big improvement on thin alloy SCT factory mounting rails which flex quite easily. To see what we mean simply try to rock your telescope side to side on it's current mount. That flex translates to pointing error. Excess metal is machined away without compromising on rigidity or strength (approx. 20-30% weight reduction). Recommmended if you're near the imaging limit of your equatorial mount which is usually about 70% of the manufacturers stated visual limit.

Benefit summary:

  • A light weight premium quality product.
  • Can be used piggyback for a solid mounting platform of guide scopes or cameras.
  • Lighter weight lets you add more without overloading your mount.
  • Improves tracking and imaging capability.
  • Improves Goto pointing accuracy.
  • A safer and more secure mounting method.
  • Increases mount weight capacity.
