Designed for the G-11 mount, Losmandy Dual Dovetail Saddle for TelescopesLosmandy Dual Dovetail Saddle for Telescopesprovides the ability mount two OTA rigs onto your mount head for autoguiding/imaging, or sharing during community events. This side-by-side saddle attaches easily by simply rotating the G-11 saddle 90° without any permanent modifications required. Each saddle accepts large Losmandy-series and smaller Vixen-series plates and is outfitted with dual thumbscrews that are used to tighten the saddle clamps and hold the OTAs firmly in place. The two plates run parallel to each other with 10" (25.4 cm) of separation center-to-center, accommodating OTAs of various sizes. Be sure to check the mount and tripod's payload capacities to ensure the two OTAs and their respective accessories do not exceed the weight limits.

Q: 1. My AT130EDT handle length requires a hole spacing of 212mm (8 5/16"); will this Losmandy dovetail work? Thanks.

A: If using the 60 mm spaced holes, Losmandy recommends the LO-DAP4/5/6/7 plate instead of this plate. It ships with the lower profile 1/4-inch-20 cap screws that would otherwise need to be purchased separately with the LO-DUP-N.
