Confirmed, both dovetail attachment points are 2x #8-32 x 1/2" back, 1x #10-24 x 1/2" front.

So the running total of screws necessary to swap out a stock configuration C9.25 OTA with dovetail attached (ignoring recessed body screws) are:

#10-24 x 1/4": 9 (assorted holes)
#10-24 x 1/2": 1 (bottom front dovetail)
#8-32 x 1/4": 2 (top rear dovetail)
#8-32 x 1/2": 4 (bottom rear dovetail, finder)
#5-40 x 1": 4 (focuser assembly cover)

Of course, I'll pick up some 1/2" versions of the 1/4" screws for the inevitable equipment attachment.

Thanks to all for the assistance.

Eric
