The Meade 16" f/10 Losmandy Dovetail Rail Assembly is a telescope and accessory attachment rail made of machined and anodized aluminum. It's useful for an older 16" f/10 ACF optical tube that was not equipped with dovetail mounting rails. Another application for this rail assembly is when "de-forking" the optical tube from a fork mount for use instead on an equatorial mount with a Losmandy-style dovetail saddle. Installing the rail assembly on the bottom of the optical tube in the factory drilled and tapped holes allows this easy conversion. Can also be used on top of the optical tube as a second mounting dovetail system to hold accessories, such as a camera or guide scope.

Designed and Manufactured in North America, the rail assembly includes a pair of aluminum radius blocks that fit the outer contour of the 16" ACF optical tube and provide a flat attachment surface for the dovetail rail. Not compatible with f/8 ACF models.
