Who makes Nexstar OTA adapter mounts?

Does anyone know who makes adapters to mount different OTA's on a Nexstar 5 - 8 mount? I know I have seen seen them, just not sure where. Thanks for your help.

Uh, he said N5 and N8, and those Baader brackets are for the small nexstars, like the n60 and 80 and 114mm models.

You are looking for Ray's Brackets and I think someone else makes something like that too, anyway, the website you need is actually at:

p.s. what are you mounting to your n5/8 mount?

Hi Mark,

I have Ray's brackets on my N8, primarily to allow the use of a premium refractor diagonal for 2" eyepieces. I also have their adaptor plate accessory that allows you to mount other OTAs. You will likely have to drill the bracket yourself to accept your mounting rings. I have used the adaptor plate to mount my Televue 85mm refractor using the TV clamshell.

You may have a couple of problems, depending on your scope. The adaptor plate is 2.5" wide. If the mounting screw spacing on your mounting rings is greater that 2.5", they won't fit the bracket. Second, the TV 85mm does not reach zenith because it is too long. This is likely due to the "straight up" position of the N8 mount arm. The smaller Nexstar mounts, referred to previously in another reply, are curved so that the OTA can reach higher in the sky. I have also tried the N114 mount and Baader bracket with a Pronto and had difficulty getting it to balance when using 2" eyepieces. Others have had more success with this configuration.
