Male D-Series dovetail plates from Losmandy Astronomical Products are used in conjunction with our DOVEDV10 and DOVELM162 (also the previous models: DOVELM2, DOVELM16 and DOVELM16S). The plates attach directly to your telescope or your telescope mounting rings and fit into the saddle as shown in the illustration. We offer a wide variety of plates for Astro-Physics, Celestron and Meade systems.
The plates are machined by Losmandy plates for lightness and rigidity from aluminum stock, then black anodized for a tough, corrosion free surface. They are laser engraved with a scale on the edge to allow for quicker setup. The plates may have some minor cosmetic flaws, for which we cannot be held responsible.
