Celestron Dovetail Plate to Mount 11" Celestron Optical Tube on Losmandy Style Saddles 94219

This 17.5" Celestron dovetail plate attaches to the underside of a Celestron 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube, bolting to the tube's front and rear cell. It lets you install the optical tube on current Celestron wide saddles as well as older Celestron mounts like the CGEM, CGEM DX, CGE, or CGE Pro mount. It will also work with a Losmandy G11 German equatorial mount and with current Losmandy GM-8 mounts that are equipped with the wider G11 saddle. The extruded and machined aluminum plate is anodized Celestron orange.

The plate has the standard 3" wide dovetail flanges underneath that fit into the Celestron and Losmandy dovetail saddles (the Losmandy D-plate standard). The top of the 4" wide plate is curved to fit the Celestron 11" optical tube. New longer hardware is supplied to bolt the plate to the optical tube after you remove the shorter screws in the tube - two hex-head machine screws in the rear cell and one in the front cell.
