I have a used, gray metal C9.25 OTA minus the Celestron dovetail and I would like to use the Losmandy DC9.25 dovetail and G11 saddle to mount it on a GEM.
My problem is that I can't see how to attach the Losmandy dovetail. The bottom of the OTA has one mounting screw on the front casting. However, the rear casting doesn't appear to have any mounting screw locations. Instead, there is one screw for attaching the tube to the casting and four, 6x32 allen screws nearby (I don't know what these are for and I am reluctant to tamper with them).
I assume that there must have been a Celestron dovetail mounted to the bottom of this OTA at one time, but I can't see how it was attached. :S
I'd appreciate some help on this.
