Vixen Dovetail Conversion for Celestron Nexstar GT

thingiverse

This is a mount and base conversion for an older Celestron Nexstar Mount. It was specifically designed for the Nexstar 80GTL, but would likely work with other models. One set of parts converts the clamshell clamp to a Vixen dovetail clamp; the other converts the base to a Vixen dovetail so that it can be mounted on a tripod and function in equatorial tracking mode. The clamp uses one 1/4" nut and bolt, and the base uses one 1/4" bolt. The 3D printed tripod pictured can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4868538 PS - the mount itself isn't very powerful, so I would recommend downsizing your scope when running it in equatorial mode.
