I recently purchased a PST. Great little solar scope in general. I've been using it on my camera tripod. I would like to use it on my Vixen Porta Mount. Alas, not sure how to connect the two since the PST has a camera tripod mount and the Vixen Porta Mount is set up for a Vixen Dovetail Mount. I'm sure there is an easy fix here but I'm not seeing it. Any suggestions?

Several places sell a short Vixen/Synta dovetail bar fitted with a 1/4" screw, enabling a camera (or scope with a camera tripod threaded base) to be attached to any mount using the Vixen/Synta dovetail. Like this

Super helpful. Based on the above information, I was able to use a few pieces I already have to come up with something that works. Thanks for the help.
