Hi Matt

As my OTA is the CF version, it came with the wider (orange) dovetail rail that fits the Losmandy dovetail saddle. I purchased the WO dovetail saddle which fits on the Tak EM200 via x2 8mm bolts. Can you fit a different mounting saddle to the EQ6? Or is it only meant for the narrower GP/CG5 type dovetail?

This is one area you don't want to scrimp on, as you'll no doubt be adding a guide scope, guide rings, cameras, etc which all add to the weight and hence require a solid mounting interface.

Cheers

Dennis
