RDM adapter for Vixen dovetail bar
I have a side-mounted 92mm refractor that I installed a second vixen dovetail bar on top of the rings that doubles as a carry handle and an attachment point for accessories. In order to attach Baader SkySurfer V red dot finder to the dovetail bar, I used Baader Universal RDM with the Dovetail Base removed and screwed to a small V-style dovetail adapter that was drilled with a pair of counterbored M5 holes spaced at 20mm apart. In the future I also plan to use the same adapter to attach a 60mm Baader Multi-purpose Vario Finder to the dovetail bar.
The accessory adapter can slide and clamp along the entire length of the dovetail bar allowing for great flexibility in balancing the telescope, in lieu of attaching heavy accessories to the focuser end which tends to make the telescope tail-heavy. I am very satisfied with this setup.
To note: When I had trouble finding the hole sizes and spacing for the two screws that attach Universal RDM to the Dovetail Base, within hours of my submitting a product question, Baader staff reached out to me and provided exceptional support, including adding images to the product info page that show the hole pattern. This is an A+ company that stands 100% behind their products and the amateur astronomy community.
