Mounting a C8 on a HEQ 5 Pro
Hi all,
After much sitting-around-in-boxes-after-arriving, I finally had time to put together my shiny new HEQ 5 Pro mount, and my equally shiny new Celestron C8 SCT scope.
However....
The OTA cannot be mounted on the mount! :-( The dovetail / rail systems are incompatible.
Lacking a decently equipped machining shop in my garage, is there a simple off-the-shelf solution for locking a C8 onto a HEQ 5 Pro mount? Or a relatively straightforward workaround?
I would actually like to get this thing up and running in the coming week if possible...
All solutions, suggestions, and ridicule (the thing may lock right on and I'm just having a blonde moment) gratefully accepted. :-)
Cheers,
Chris
