Farpoint Dovetail Plate - Celestron 11 Inch SCT

PlateX

I really like the dove rail system for my Celestron telescopes. I recently purchased a new one for my new Celestron 11" HD. However, I I wasn't able to attach the curved blocks to my OTA as the screws to do so appear to be too short. I could not get them to start to grab in. They are only 10-24 x 1/2" long so I'm thinking of ordering new ones that are 10-24 x 3/4" in length.

Great Dovetail

Super stiff and lighter than my C11 dovetail from Losmandy. I think it strikes the right balance. I had some problems with the provided screws being the wrong size for the holes on the front of the telescope. I was also kind of disappointed that the radius blocks had a 'CXB Astro' logo instead of the Farpoint logo that would have matched the rest of my gear.
