What do I need to piggyback an AT1010 to a C8 on a GEM?

I see a set of 3 threaded holes on the C8. I know I need radius blocks and a "plate" to attach the AT1010.

Where are these accessories available?

Jerry,

I'm using the Losmandy system of connecting my piggyback equipment (TV-76 or StarMax127 or camera).

For your scope, this requires the DC8 dovetail plate w/radius blocks and a set of rings (probably the DR125). These accessories are on the Losmandy site: www.losmandy.com/secondary.html

Losmandy will have everything you need. Another one that may possably help would be Ken's Rings and Telescope Accessories. Both have links on the AstroMart home page.
