The 'Short' is from machined aluminium.
Especially handy for adding to scopes where you want a longer dovetail for balance, but the rings need to be closer together than the positions possible on the Medium dovetail, as the slots allow you to adjust the position.

Long AE Vixen Dovetail bar 16 August 2023 | Stephen
Purchased this to replace a SW bar that was used to mount a SY135/camera assembly. Looks identical to the SW item apart from the colour.

I needed a longer dovetail to achieve balance for my 'new' (2nd hand) refractor, but for various reasons didn't want to alter the spacing between the scope's rings - answer: a dovetail with long slots for maximum flexibility. Perfect.
I love dealing with FLO - the advice they're able to provide has always been useful and their delivery and returns setup is second to none.
Astro essentials short bar 09 July 2023 | Emma
The Astro essentials short bar is excellent, very solid and two long recessed slots to hide the cap heads. I only wish there was a longer version made in the same way in this range. Great value compared to other ranges.

I needed a decent length dovetail bar, there are plenty on the market, I chose the astro essentials one because it was a good price,in stock and did exactly what I needed it too. The quality of the item is very good and FLO as normal provide an excellent service.

Needed to move my ed72 ds-pro forward on the mount to get balance and this dovetail is perfect for doing that
Exceptional value for money 28 August 2022 | Paul
I bought the small, really solid piece of kit, quality for the price is outstanding.
Astro Essentials dovetail 24 March 2022 | Peter
I ordered the short version of this budget bar and was pleasantly surprised at the heft and solidity of the bar when received, good finish to it too. Unlike the two longer bars available, this one is machined from solid and is very substantial. Kudos also to FLO for a very rapid delivery to my far flung island!

It's a nice dovetail bar. I bought it to mount my AzGti to a William Optics wedge because it was recommended to me by a fellow SGL member. It's flat so the AzGti mounts nicely onto it and plenty of positioning options with the two long openings on the dovetail bar.
