Please Note

Orion has made the difficult decision to close our warehouse facility in the Netherlands. With the continuing supply chain/logistics challenges and slowness in the economy we have found that it is not economically feasible to maintain operations in the UK and Europe.

We have therefore stopped taking orders on this website. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We will continue to have Orion dealers in Europe to meet the needs of Orion consumers. We will also continue to honor the 30-Day product return period as well as honoring the Orion warranty for purchases made in the UK and Europe.

Our US-based Customer Service Representatives are here to help. Contact them via email at support@telescope.com or in the United Kingdom, via phone at 0-800-041-8146 (Monday-Friday between the hours of 1300 and 2400 GMT).

Let's say you have a telescope featuring a narrow dovetail mounting plate, and a mount equipped with a wide dovetail saddle. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to securely attach your scope to your mount without spending an arm and a leg? It sure would, and the Orion Wide-to-Narrow dovetail adapter plate is exactly what you need.

This adapter plate allow you to increase the versatility of larger non-Orion mounts by allowing attachment of Orion telescopes or tube ring systems that utilize the narrow male mounting bar. Our new Wide-to-Narrow Dovetail Adapter will convert your mount to the narrow "Vixen-style" saddle which accepts the narrow dovetail bars.

The adapters are spring loaded, with an e split-clamp design with two large hand knobs. This design allows the saddle to be opened wide for easy drop-in attachment of the dovetail bar. The adapters are CNC machined throughout. No tools are need for installation.
