it still takes vixen dovetails, however the vixen dovetail saddle on the mount is wider (read: Longer) so that the clamping force on the dovetail is spread over more length.. That way a larger scope is held more securely. Personally I'd still change the head out for an ADM D-plate saddle if I was going to use anything over 8" in aperture, or heavier than 8kgs.
