Pronto on Orion SkyView Pro

Does anybody here know how to mount a TeleVue Pronto on a SkyView Pro mount? I just received the mount, and am very happy with it for the Pronto. My mounting is a cludge, though. I use the SkyView 1/4-20 tripod adapter, and screw it into one hole in the Pronto mounting plate. This works, but even after incorporating a spacer, the telescope wants to rotate on the single screw.

Is there such a thing as a mounting accessory that is sold just for mounting TeleVue scopes on the Orion mount? Thanks.

Tom,

If the Skyview Pro accepts a Vixen dovetail, TeleVue makes an adaptor that attaches to the tube ring with two bolts.
