Astro-Physics Accessories

With the sale of my AP400, I have a few accessories left over.
DOVE8 saddle, designed to go onto the AP400/600 etc, and accept the AP rails.
3x AP rails, two at about 10", and one at about 8".
All items are about 3 months old from AP, and were used to make a side by side system. They are all marked slightly, so not "Mint", but in very good condition.
PM if interested.
Gary

Hi Nick,
hmmm, first question has me, I don't know. If the holes line up then yes it will fit, but if they don't, then I am not sure. The holes I used (four of them in total) are about 58mm apart. These can be seen in the picture, and the S/S screws are sitting in them. There is another four at about 30mm apart. They are inside the area where the rail would sit and slide.
Then lastly on the sides there is another four, at about 160 apart each side, and about 76mm apart side for side. Maybe look at your mount head and see if there is anything that lines up.
In my case I use the 10" rail on the base of a stiffer piece of alloy, and used the unit with my 10" newt (so about 12" tube), and a guide-scope with adjustable rings.
Does this help?
Gary
