I recently purchased a Celestron C130 to mount on a DSV-1 mount without thinking about the whole thing being rotated 90 degrees when mounted sideways on the DSV-1.
Does anyone make an off the shelf L bracket that would mount to the DSV-1 and support the C130?

I am not familiar with the C130 or the DSV mount but here is a source for lots of mounting accessories:

I use a Giro 2 DX mount like this one:

If you can post a photo of what you are trying to achieve some of us may be able to make better recommendations.

OK, DSV-1 = Desert Sky Astro. I have seen this mount discussed here last year:
http://www.desertskyastro.com/Mounts.html
What you need is the mount adapter designed for this mount and select the correct size rings for your OTA and attach it the the dovetail adapter:

You can rotate the OTA inside the rings any way you wish. Does that work for you?
