Hi,

I just picked up a used Mewlon 210! Can anone confirm if the fasteners to replace the standard dovetail with a Losmandy DUP are M4.0x0.75? Thanks!

Never mind, I found my small metric ruler and figured a M5.0 12mm flat socket head screw would do it and, pitch is 0.8mm only for M5.0. The other giveaway was M5 uses 3mm hex key and M4 is 2.5mm. McMaster should fix me up in no time!

Now if only the rain and clouds would go away (in fairness, I drove to get the scope in the rain so the curse started before purchase. That means it should clear up sooner, right?
