Key Features
- For 11" SCT & EdgeHD OTAs
- Pre-Drilled Mounting Hole Pattern
- Aluminum with Orange Anodized Finish
- Fits CG-5 (Vixen-Style) Dovetail Saddles
The Celestron Narrow Dovetail Bar Kit allows you to replace the wider CGE (Losmandy-style) dovetail bar that comes with most Celestron 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD optical tube assemblies (OTAs) with a narrow dovetail to allow them to be used on mounts that accept the narrower CG-5 (Vixen-style) bar. It comes with a pre-drilled mounting hole pattern that matches the OTA's mounting holes, along with a complete mounting hardware kit. The bar is made of aluminum and treated with a scratch-resistant anodized finish in the iconic Celestron orange color. The bar is 17.5" long and weighs just 15 ounces. To avoid damage to delicate gears and/or motors, check the payload capacity of your mount to make sure it can carry the weight of the OTA before installing it.

Hi,
Can this be installed on the top side of the 11" OTA (rather than replacing the button Lusmandy bar)?
Yes the narrow Dovetail Bar can be installed at the top side of the OTA, although mounting holes will need to be drilled in the front and rear tube cells. .
