AP 900GTO

Posted By Robert Watters

George,

No, the Losmandy saddle will not bolt directly onto the AP-900 and I don't know of anyone that makes an adapter. I guess you could pay someone to make one but I'd have to ask, Why? The AP saddle plates are far superior IMHO, wink they bolt down with 4 bolts versus Losmandy's 2. They also feature the tilt in design versus the slide in, have 2 locking knobs versus 1, have plate offset mounting for better scope balance.....

APM TS OAG will not work with my ML8300 setup!

Floyd

Can't you simply adjust the prism back into the light cone where you need it and then adjust focus by adding a short extension tube to the camera mount. Or am I not understanding the problem correctly?

Most people would walk right on by and not have the imagination required to capture such a fine shot. Nice job.
