Losmandy put together this DC-8 Dovetail Plate Kit for medium-sized 8" aperture Celestron OTAs to enable the use of their heavy-duty dovetail system. The two included blocks are designed to match the OTA's circumference curvature with mounting holes spaced to match standard Celestron spacing. The blocks easily attach to the 14" long Universal Mounting Plate, which has numerous mounting holes that will correspond to most Celestron scopes. This kit comes with all the screws required to mount the blocks onto the OTA and dovetail, with the correct Celestron thread sizes.

question
Would this work to mount my 8 aperture celestron nexstar 8 OTA to my new celestron advances vx Mount?
The Nexstar scopes already have a Vixen dovetail so nothing extra is needed to mount them to the VX mount.
