Astophysics saddle

[batema]

I have tried to post this in the sales section for telescopes and mounts. I have been told it might be up to a month for my saddle for the Astrophysics 1100gto mount to arrive but this Friday I am on 2 weeks holiday. I suppose I am after one to buy so I can use the mount on the holidays if any one has a spare one.

Thanks

Mark

Will this fit your needs? http://www.optcorp.com/astro-physics-16inch-easy-balance-dovetail-saddle-plate.html

Thanks Lewis. I have this actually ordered but will take a month and I am on holidays this coming Friday. Just trying to muck around with my mount on the holidays if possible.

What is the bolt pattern Mark?

I have a Robin Casady Universal 8" saddle that you could borrow if you pay for postage both ways. It is the tip-in type and takes Losmandy plates.

In fact I will be up at Buderim on Monday and can bring it with me, you can then just post it back when yours arrives.

Sound like a great deal ....... ?

This is my bolt pattern on top of my 1100 gto

Mark, on the saddle are 4 holes that form a 57mm (2.25") square (bolt centre to bolt centre)
according to Robin Casady, this saddle fits the following mounts:

Astro-Physics Mach1, 400, 600, 900, & 1200
Losmandy G-11 & GM-8*
Takahashi EM Mounts**
and DiscMounts

I am pretty confident that it will fit the newer mounts too :)
