Dovetail Clamp

I have installed a dovetail clamp to my Vixen Super Polaris mount. This modification allows easier swapping between mounts and telescopes, since my two other telescope mounts (Meade LXD75 and Vixen Great Polaris) both have Vixen-style dovetail clamps.

I removed the bar that the telescope’s saddle originally attaches to then drilled and tapped holes to fasten the dovetail clamp to the mount with screws. This clamp will be carrying a very light payload.
