ST80 as guidescope on FLT-110?
      #3434302 - 11/07/09 09:01 AM

I have someone who wants to buy my Orion ST80 and use it as a guidescope on an FLT-110. He was WO rings on his scope and I have the standard rings and dovetail on mine. What sort of adapter mounting plate will need to be used to mount the ST80 on the FLT-110? It looks like scopestuff has lots of options, but I'm not sure exactly which one to suggest to him.

From what my searching says, the WO rings use 1/4-20 tapped holes.

Thanks!
Daniel

I use the Ring and Accessory Mounting Bar from Scopestuff.
