This listing is for the 150mm length plate.
This dovetail plate includes plenty of connection points and gives you many options to attach tube rings, guiding rings, and cameras. The plate also includes an M4 holes at the front and back end for adding an M4 bolt to prevent the dovetail sliding out of your saddle clamp which prevents accidental slippage.
The premium plate is made from lightweight aluminium alloy with an attractive scratch-resistant red anodised finish.
With its wide choice of attachment holes these Askar dovetails allow for a wide variety of attachment choices. In addition the two central slots allow for fine tuning of tube ring spacing.
I bought this to replace the stock dovetail plate on my Mewlon 180C. The catch is that the main slots for attaching it to the OTA are designed for M6 screws, whereas the Mewlon 180C uses M5 screws. I had to source for M5 socket shoulder screws having 6mm shoulder diameter of 4mm length, with 6mm thread length. Once acquired, the Askar dovetail plate attached perfectly to my Mewlon 180C. I was even able to add the safety stop bolts.
