This is an aluminum dovetail plate with M8 taps for Takahashi telescopes. It is new and unused, but there are some screw marks left from a trial assembly. It is a Vixen-compatible dovetail (SXD, SXW, SXC, GPD2, GP2, Porta, etc., Vixen mounts, and Kenko, Celestron Advanced GT, etc.). Made of duralumin. Black anodized finish. M8 taps with 35mm spacing are the standard for Takahashi. By attaching a Takahashi one-piece tube ring here, a Takahashi telescope tube can be mounted on a Vixen equatorial mount, and the front-rear balance can be adjusted freely. * W1/4 is a camera screw. * All holes are tapped (threaded). M8 taps can also be used as through holes for 1/4 inch screws.
