Attaching dovetail on Meade 7"Mak OTA?

67champ · #1 11-02-2006, 05:45 AM

Does anyone know if it is possible to attach a Dovetail on a Meade ® 7" LX200GPS Maksutov OTA, so I could use it on my CG5 mount?

Thanks,

dt

Hi dt

Try Jim Henson at Scopestuff. Here is a link to his range of mounting hardware. I didn't see anything specifically for the Mak, but drop him an e-mail - Jim and his people are very friendly.

Dennis, any idea how long Scopestuff usually take to respond to an email?

Steve, in my experience Scopestuff usually reply fairly promptly, given the time/day differences.

Did I miss an email from janoskiss?

We don't have a dovetail that fits the 7", just the 8" and C8 and C9.25.
There might be a workaround, please email jim at scopestuff dot com.

BTW, I saw a referral hit on our web tracker and came here to see why my ears were burning!

Clear skies,
Jim
