Mounting adapter (Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro <-> C8 dovetail)

[chrisc]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone might have one of these sitting around gathering dust?

I need to mount a Celestron C8 onto a Skywatcher HEQ-5-Pro mount.

Alternatively if anyone knows if their local store tends to stock these, I'd love to know (I'll be doing the phone ring-around after work later this morning).

Hoping to get it sorted in time to take a few happy snaps of this weekend's lunar eclipse.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I bought a ADM losmandy to vixen style dovetail adapter from Andrews Communication Systems (ph 0296369060) for a $100.00 a couple of years ago.My set up is the same as yours---suggest you give them a call.

Cheers
Tom

I have a long vixen or lasmandy bar that you could use, you would just need those little curved C8 adapter thingies, like these
