WANTED Dovetail & Plate for Celestron C8

[spudrick]

As the heading says i need a Adaptor plate and Dovetail to suit a Celestron CG5 mount to fit a Celestron Ultima 8 (circa 1992)
This OTA has a wider screw difference at the rear of the OTA so the standard Dovetail does not fit.
What i am after is the same as on this page the part#MPC8

If someone has one or can point me to where i can get one here in Australia i would be grateful.
Other choice is to order from the USA

http://www.kendauzat.net/ sorry this is a US dealer/manufacturer. he can make up anything you want. Of course it comes at a price but I have been happy with the product for a few years, I had him make the mount plate for the eq6 for a dual bar, 12" SCT anda losmandy adapter bar to fit the eq6. good gear. Best of luck in your search

Hi Terry,

I had this exact problem just a few months ago, a slightly older C8 and it was a Vixen GP, but essentially the same. In the end it was cheaper and simpler to go with tube rings and a standard dove tail bar.

That said when all was said and done I didnt end up liking the C8 on the GP and moved it back to the original fork mount, so now the tube rings and dovetail bar I have are spare and only used once or twice. If you are interested in this setup let me know.

Michael
