You'll love it Dave How to Attach it? Doesn't your mount have a Vixen Dovetail Saddle on it's head?

Ahhhh OK, your mount has a Losmandy saddle. Bummer! $189 is a lot to spend on a Dovetail adaptor. It would be a little bit cheaper to simply fit a Losmandy Dovetail rail to the scopes rings. A Losmandy rail is $139 (which is still way too dear). www.bintel.com.au/Accessories/Dovetail-Plates---Adapters/Losmandy-DUP/614/productview.aspx It always annoys me how they can charge so much for a small length of Extruded aluminium. Any other profile would cost about $20 per metre!
