Gregory,

Thanks for the info. I wonder if the hole pattern is the same
on the C9.25? The C9.25 also weighs a bit more than the C8 OTA
(about 22 pounds I think), but hopefully not enough to make a
difference. I think I'll try your suggestion because this would
be much less expensive than using the tube rings.

BTW, I'm having a hard time finding the DC9.25 plate. Neither
Pocono West or Anacortes have them in stock right now and I was told
that Scott is away until the 15th so I suppose that means I'll
have to wait to get them.

Regards,
Bob

Robert,

I too was told I would need to mount my C8 OTA upside down on my
Losmandy Dovetail.

I discovered otherwise. I used the standard dovetail for the G-11

and

was able to mount the OTA rightside up. It takes a little finesse,

but

it worked with no problems.

The plate is bolted using the opposite sides of the elongated holes
provided on the plates (thanks to Scott for that forsight) four

corners.

The elongation of the mounting holes is what helps, the bolts just

fit.

You can not use all four holes, but everything remains orthagonal,

tight

and trouble free. After continued set ups and tear downs and a road

trip

to Arizona's night skies, a mountain top star party, I have yet

needed

to adjust the dovetail mount on my OTA. It works.

Take care,
