Losmandy D-Series Dovetail

[rat156]

Up for sale is this nice Losmandy D-Series Dovetail plate and radius blocks.

This was used on a Meade 8"SCT. I'm not sure if it will fit others.

It had an ED80 attached to it via Losmandy DA plates, using the Skywatcher rings, in this configuration the mounting was very sturdy, I never saw any evidence of flexure.

New price from Bintel is $139, yours for $110 including postage.

Cheers
