The DM12 fits your 12" Meade, and several ring sizes are shown on the same page. I'm afraid that I'm not in the 12" category, but the Losmandy works well with my little 8" and a small (TeleVue 76) refractor. Davoud -- usenet *at* davidillig dawt com

oups.com... Wanted to know if anyone had any opinions about this. What Davoud said, but also you'll need to get a bottom rail with counterweight system to offset the load up top. Losmandy has these too.

I have that system, plus the counterweight, on my 8" Celestron fork-mounted SCT (which does not seem "little" to me!) and it is really a fine way to go.
