I am wanting to mount a 90mm ETX to a Polaris mount for a grab & go scope. Does anyone have suggestions for a cradle for this marriage?
My temporary cradle is not satisfactory. Thank you for your advise. Mike

I just purchased a dovetail plate from Scopestuff for my recently acquired ETX 125 OTA. The dovetail plate bolts onto the foot that is attached to the OTA with 2 included bolts. Then you can mount the OTA on any mount that accepts a Vixen style plate.
