A requirement for my tube

I have the Sky-Watcher Skymax 90 OTA that has a "reversed" dovetail, so I was unable to mount it on my AZ-GTI mount. This bar saved me.
Easy to attach it and great value. I've just removed the "reversed" dovetail and used the same screws to attach it. It is just great.
A no-brain buy for this issue.

15mm dovetail bar

This dovetail was fitted to a Heritage 130P OTA to enable it to be used on an alt/az mount where the saddle is flat not at an angle. The dovetail was a perfect length which enabled the eyepiece and red dot finder to be easily used. Excellent quick service as always from FLO

Fine value for money dovetail bars.

We'll made, decent precision. They are versatile and not so expensive that you would hesitate to drill another hole.
