Hi everyone,
So... another part of my set up arrived today: a pre-loved William Optics FLT-132. Having all these bits and pieces arriving over several weeks feels a little bit like a reverse Mafia kidnapping... one body part at a time!
Anyhow, my current challenge is to figure out how to piggyback mount the Orion ShortTube 80 scope onto the FLT 132.
The Orion package comes with two mounting rings and a Vixen-style dovetail - as can be seen in the photo. Unfortunately, the holes don't quite line up with the FLT-132's mounting rings - it's out by a mere 5 mm (244 mm vs 249 mm).
Any suggestions where/how to find a plate that would work?
Thanks!
