Debbie, WRT your comment about needing a dovetail plate for your 102 refractor (and planning to wait until the weather cools to get one), I just happen to have been looking for dovetail plates myself recently and there's several Losmandy-style plates available on CN's classifieds (as of a couple of nights ago, at least). They're listed under the Mount Accessories and Drives category. Some have been there a while so you might get an extra good price. So you might want to check them out. John
