Hi again,
Following on from another thread, what would I need to do to swap this telescope to my GEM. I have a Celetron Astromaster GEM that came with the 5" Newtonian, and I am reasonably sure it can handle the weight. Might not do so well if I want to add a motor drive but that's not an issue right now. The current mounting hardware is for a set of forks. I do see a set of screws located in what seem like the right positions for a dovetail bar. 2 in the front, and 1 in the rear.
Is this a case of needing a set of rings, to which the dovetail bar would attach to instead of the telescope body itself?
in advance!
