I'm having a little bit of trouble with terminology....I bought a used Orion Atlas EQ-G with the stock saddle. I *think* this requires a "Vixen" style dovetail, right? I see a bunch of Losmandy, ADM, CG5, etc.
I'm looking for a dovetail plate that will mount a 10" LX200 OTA to a stock Atlas EQ-G saddle. I'm assuming I'll need one with radius blocks. Where's a good place to get one?
Any thoughts on replacing the stock saddle with the new wider one that came out? Then what type of dovetail would I need?
This one:
"Wide Dovetail Saddle for Atlas EQ-G Mount (Pre-09)" see Orion Telescopes site.
Thanks for any info!
