Are the mounting holes 1/4-20 or straight through?
The only hole that is threaded is not a 1/4-20. We cannot measure it here. The other holes go straight through and have no threads.

Can this be mounted instead of the AZ-EQ5 saddle plate?
I would not really recommend mounting a scope to configuration - it's far too light weight for that. I wouldn't even put up my Redcat 51 in it. This is to mount an additional item to a top-mounted dovetail saddle, like a guide camera or at most a counterweight. I use it to mount my Pegasus UPB to a C11 - it works well for that.

What is the spacing between the 4 1/4" holes? I would like to mount on an optical breadboard with 25 mm M6 holes.
There are six(6) 1/4" holes. 3 'pairs' on 3/4" centers.
The outermost pairs are 1 3\4" center from each other and form a rectangle.
The center pair is offset by 3/8" . So the upper hole of the center pair is at the center of the rectangle formed by the outermost pairs. That is the one that is threaded.I
They are all countersunk on the underside at 0.404" x 0.277" deep.
hope that helps.
