Saddle replacement for LXD55

Started by bartine, 06/24/2004 08:33PM

I just purchased a refurbished LXD55 mount from Meade's Factory Outlet.

The mount does not come with a Saddle Plate. I will be initially using a Celestron 6" refractor - a very nice Celestron CR150. I have heard rumours of different vendors selling an aluminum replacement that will bolt onto an LXD55.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks!!

Ben

Hi Ben,

I just did the same, but have not yet recieved the mount. I wasn't sure if the saddle-plate was included so thanks for the heads-up that it does not. I will get one from scoestuff (http://www.scopestuff.com/). They have 3 versions (a short, a long, and a reinforced multi-hole version). I have had several good purchases from scopestuff.
