I'm looking at mounting a ShortTube 80 on a Vixen Porta Mount. (I know, it's overkill for a cheap scope..but I'm thinking upgrade down the line). Any suggestions for a mounting plate to use with a Porta Mount? I'm a little confused by all this dovetail and scope rings business. Thanks..Wayne

Wayne,
I'm not sure if the Porta Mount uses the standard Vixen dovetail or not. You might check out the Stellarvue TP5 plate and see if that would work for you. On the Stellarvue website, click Accessories>Mounting Rings and Hardware, then scroll down the page a bit.
