Apologies for not replying with my thanks earlier - my email was filtering lots of my groups.io to junk for a bit. So thank yo all for the help and suggestions. I have been mulling over which path to pursue as I like the computerized mount for my learning the sky or if time is short, as well as my kids know how to operate it on their own. I had quickly seen the dedicated bar and blocks to change the OTA over to losmandy - but with the potential option of changing the saddle to allow me to move between the two, that might make more sense for me currently.
Thanks again,
PeteL

See my previous post dated Oct. 16th.? The best possible option is to purchase the current Losmandy GM8G saddle that accepts both the smaller Vixen and larger Losmandy "D" style do details which have become the two most popular dovetail styles.? Here is a link to the right part from Losmamdy:? they are in stock and if you are local you can pick one up on Monday at the shop.? If you tell them you have an old GM8s and ask Tanya they can provide the fasteners. Tell her Chip sent you.??
