I have a cheap little GOTO and a spotter with a built-in color monitor. I need to combine the two. So an L bracket is in order. Problem - the nature of the mount is such that Orion's Dovetail L-Bracket (part # 05052) and Celestron's Synta L-Bracket (which I strongly suspect is the same part re-branded), will not work. Turns out, what I need is this part: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dovetail-Heavy-Duty-L-Bracket-Mount-/130768084699 But of course this guy is sold out. Anyone know of another supplier of this kind of L bracket? Post Extras:       18UCinVA professor emeritus Reged: 10/24/08 Loc: Virginia Re: Sourcing for perpendicular L bracket???

With a short 1/4-20 thumb screw added to the ANG3 to mount the spotter and then bolted to the EDQ6, it could be the business. Thanks!
