The PLUS curved blocks provide a secure interface to attach a Losmandy-style dovetail bar to 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain and ACF optical tubes. They are shaped to match the curved OTA surface and install using the telescope's existing mounting points.

Overview

Install one curved block near the front and one near the rear of the optical tube, fastening each with the original screws removed from the tube. The curved blocks accept a 350 mm or 495 mm PLUS Losmandy dovetail bar, which fastens to each block with two M6 screws.

Key notes for installation

  • Designed for Celestron C8, C9.25, C11, EdgeHD 800/925/1100 and Meade 8" SC/ACF optical tubes.
  • Use the telescope's existing screw holes to mount the curved blocks; reinstall the original screws to secure them.
  • Attach the dovetail bar with two M6 screws per block (M6 screws for the dovetail are stated as included by the manufacturer).

Missing information: The manufacturer text does not provide material, finish, exact weight, or precise drilling/thread specifications beyond the M6 dovetail fasteners. If these details are required, verify with the manufacturer before purchase.
