Help - Losmandy users.
Hope one of the Losmandy owners here can help me with this problem. I've just received my dovetail assembly for my 8" meade and I can't seem to get one of the brackets to line up with more than one hole on the OTA. I thought that maybe I had been sent the wrong bracket but checking the Losmandy site the dovetail assembly definately shows that one of the brackets is smaller than the other.
As you can see from the image with the larger bracket there are two sets of screw holes at the outer bevelled ends and one in the center. Three of these line up with existing holes in the OTA collar. The other two bolt to the dovetail itself.
But if you look at the smaller one the only way it can be attached is through the center slot. Neither of the other two slots line up with anything. In fact I have to remove two screws just to get it to sit flat. Again the two outer holes are for bolting the dovetail to the brackets.
Any ideas. I'm at my wits end. I definately don't think that one bolt will be enough to hold the thing stable with a guidescope hanging off it.
