William Optics Mounting Rings (Set of 2) - 90mm (3.54")
William Optics Mounting Rings - 90mm
Needed a better mounting option for my Orion ED80T-CF - the 'boot' that comes standard is OK, but not very versatile. The William Optics rings fit perfectly, and they give me the option to mount the OTA to any dovetail plate I choose. Very ...

Celestron Advanced VX Mount # 91519
I bought the one with the standard mounting plate..
I got one of these several months ago, before they changed the mounting plate. I use the mount for a 4" f5 refractor. I do visual astronomy. This mount is a fine mount and will serve my purpose for years to come. Once aligned, it centers every o...

Meade Coronado Vixen-Style Dovetail Plate (6" Long) # 07932

I bought a SolarMax II on clearance and needed a dovetail. Tricky part is the SolarMax II version used to have a flat bottomed clamshell on which to attach the dovetail, while the III has a curved clamshell. Turns out this dovetail will also fit the ...

Celestron 11" Dovetail Bar for CGE # 94219
Losmandy style dovetail for Celestron 9.25.
A D style dovetail for mounting a C9.25 on an equatorial mount. Visually it looks good and anodized to matche the Celestron orange color. The version I got though, was unfortunately banged and therefore was making contact with the OTA only at three p...

Meade Coronado Vixen-Style Dovetail Plate (6" Long) # 07932
Good fit on Solarmax 60mm
Comes with 2 mounting screws. Screws are short enough they won't protrude through the rings and damage scope.
Dovetail has a hole in the center, and two slots that together cover almost the full length of the dovetail.

Fit perfectly on my de-forked classic C-5 -- now I can remount it on a DC compatible "travel" mount for the 2020 solar eclipse!

Celestron SkyPortal WiFi Adapter for Remote Telescope Control # 93973
This is a great alternative
This is a great alternative to control a Celestron AllAz mount directly, instead of using a NexStar hand controller.

GSO Telescope Tube Mounting Rings (Set of 2) - 90mm (3.54")
Solid, well-machined and nicely designed
Solid, well-machined and nicely designed with large, knob-like tightening bolts. I under-estimated the tube diameter I needed for my ED triplet but these did the job with the extra 'play' in the bolt design. You get what you pay for.

Agena 13" Anodized Dovetail Bar for EQ5 and Other Mounts
Edge hd8
Works fine but had to create slot in one hole to fit the scope. Apps needed a longer screw for that position.

Meade LX90 Wedge Adapter Plate # 07389
Not what it was intnded for
I used the plate to modify a large video tripod to support my LX90 10" Meade. It worked well. The tripod is all aluminum and is much lighter and more stable than the original rated to support a up to a 400 lbs. camera. Agena has great prices and...

Celestron Polar Finder for CG-5 Advanced, CGEM, and Advanced VX Mount # 94224
Celestron should align theese at the factory.
Hi, Aligning the etched reticle in this is a lot less than fun. It could have been done at the factory, but NOOO, you have to fiddle with 3 tiny screws for hours trying to get the x centered. Mine arrived with one of the screws inside the finder. I a...

Celestron CG-5 Universal Mounting Plate # 94213
It works...
Lots of holes to choose from.
I think I could have made a mounting plate out of wood, but this works fine.
