It does not look like the maxmount dovetail but it's 100% better then any other standard dovetail I have seen in the meade range.

Hey guys....tonight is the first time I am testing my new scope...I put the Meade 6.3 FR on it and was shocked...the image is severly affected by vignetting...virtualy unuseable...I just did some searches on this and most people have found the common 6.3 FR do not work on the LX200R and RCX optics due to the Ritchy Crei optics....their saying the Focal reducer have a built in field flattner to reduce the curveture but this is not needed for this scope because of the flatter field.....there saying the Astro phisics RC focal reducer CCDT67 is the part to go for...and many refractor type focal reducer will do a better job.

Under CCD imaging part CCDT67

Any recomendations...because I hate imaging at F10.
