Still looking (thanks anyway, Lewis).

To clarify:

The main reason for wanting a dovetail is to move the balance point of the scope. It's light enough for a camera tripod but with most eyepieces it's rear-heavy. So the dovetail needs to be longer than the existing foot so I can shift the balance point. I reckon a 4" (100mm) dovetail is the ideal size.

I would also like the dovetail itself to be capable of direct attachment to a camera tripod, if possible.
