Losmandy Dovetail on an Orion SkyView Pro GEM?
Hi all,
I have an Orion SkyView Pro German equatorial mount and tripod with ra and dec drives etc due to arrive shortly. My refractor, due to arrive Monday because I missed the UPS delivery on Friday (d'oh!) comes with a Losmandy compatible dovetail plate. Does anyone know if the Losmandy plate is compatible with the mount, or will I have to order a set of rings? The tech-support folks at Orion couldn't answer this question. Thanks! - Craig Craig Levine Secretary RASC, Halifax Centre www.halifax.rasc.ca |

Losmandy dovetail plates are much wider than the Vixen-type system used on your Orion mount. It will not fit. -- Joe Bergeron http://www.joebergeron.com |
