Hello WYO
I have a Celestron C9.25 whose rear mirror cell has x2 holes (8x32) and front corrector cell x1 hole (10x32) and I used to mount it on a Vixen style dovetail rail before I re-fitted the original CGE wide rail.
I cannot comment on the thickness of the metal in the C9.25 cells vs. your C8, but so far I haven’t had any problems, even thought like you, I think this is a puny way of fitting an OTA to a dovetail rail.
I think my screws only insert for approx 4 to 5 full turns?
Cheers
Dennis
