Hi All,

I'm a recent joiner here. I was fortunate to purchase a well taken care of G8 with an extension between the tripod and head. It’s has the 492(?) drive system.?

I have been using a 4.25” Orion Newtonian and a GoTo Celestron 8se with the computerized single arm mount.?

?

I’d love to fit the 8se onto the Losmandy. But the dovetail bar on the ota is about an inch narrower then the mount accepts.?

I also received a dovetail plate with the mount that I’m hoping to find specs for. Maybe I could attach the Celestron bar to this unknown one which fits perfectly on the G8 mount. But who knows just yet.

?

Thank you for any suggestions anyone may have.?

That is an old GM8s!? ?I bought one just like it a few years ago!? ?That is the original as in proprietary "Small" Losmandy dovetail.? To allow your GM8s to use the now standardized dovetails you need to replace the saddle on the GM8s mount.? I recommend buying a , also known as the 4" dual D/V saddle mount, this is what I am using.?
