Hi,
Will someone please identify this mount. I thought it was a cg5. How can and what do I need to mount a c8 onto this. I am on the lookout for a used c8 at a very low price. Saw one of two on sale but I dont know how to keep cost down if I find a c8. Losamandy dovetail (about which I dont have much knowledge) is an option. Is there a cheaper way for this grad student. Thanks. Please reply to [email protected] as I wont go to school until monday.
Jay

Well, it's not a CG-5...perhaps it's a CG-4. You wouldn't need a Losmandy dovetail, that's for sure.

You just need a standard CG-5 dovetail bar for your C8. I sold mine about 2 months ago, after I upgraded from a CG-5 to a Losmandy G-11 mount. I'm sure there's some one out there with one they're no longer using.
