Farpoint 14 Inch Metric Universal Dovetail Plate

Almost Perfect

The dovetail has a beautiful finish, and for a standard installation, you will have no issues. But the machined slots need to be about 2mm deeper. I needed longer bolts for my set up and a standard socket head metric bolt head stuck out just far enough to not allow the plate to sit level in my mount. If you can use the supplied proprietary bolts, (proprietary in that I could not find anything like it online) you will have no issues. But if you need anything else, you will need to find a low profile replacement bolt or screw.

Blue Plate Special!

This is one beautiful Losmandy-style rail that provides a solid base for my 130mm refractor. There are a plethora of dovetail choices out there, but only one Blue Plate Special! In-stock (a rarity these days) and fast shipping. Thank you, FarpointAstro! You will be seeing me again.
