WTB: Dovetail (found) and tube rings

yanyewkay · Post by **yanyewkay** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 12:06 am

Looking for dovetail plate and rings that would mount a Skywatcher 127 MCT to a CG5.

Ring size should be 140mm for the 127mm scope.

Saw this post after my last one.

Congrats on your new scope!

That's a good scope - great planetary views!

It was my first scope too.

Hey 'UK', you know me from the butterfly forum. Nice to see you here.

The Skywatcher 127mm MCT is a good scope.... almost my first scope before I changed my mind to my current 80mm APO.

Now you can take flights higher than the treetops and go where no butterflies can ever reach... haha

I have a dovetail plate. You may not need the tube rings, just bring your MCT 127 down to my office and lets see if the bolt holes fit.

maybe can organise an outing with Ben also and we use our scopes to capture those tree top butts.

Oh... I also have a pair of 140mm ID tube rings, if you want.
