I was told I should get a German Equatorial Mount. Is there one you recommend that this scope will fit on? I will be taking pictures with my SLR.

You're not really going to find an equatorial mount for this scope. Your best bet with this scope is to get a wedge like this one. http://www.amazon.com/Celestron-CPC-Heavy-Duty-Wedge/dp/B0040GXO8K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385039107&sr=8-1&keywords=celestron+wedge

Didn't use mount. Used Weaver rings I already had. I think the original was 11mm. This scope did not hold up mounted on a magnum springer air rifle.

I wish that I could provide a helpful answer, Lukas. However, I brought the scope down to Brazil, left it w/ a nephew, and that's the last I saw of it. I could email him. If he responds, I'll pass on that information. Sorry that I could not be more helpful.

IMO, you should use a 1 piece scope mount. Burris P.E.P.R. 30mm mount or similar. I use the Aero Precision ultra light extended mount. JoeBobOutfitters has it for 79.00. The Aero Precision website also offers them, and has frequent sales. Last week they had it for 59.00.With the big eye relief on this scope it generally needs to be mounted pretty far forward, and rings are not a good way to do it as the front ring will end up on the handguard. Check out one piece mounts! Primary Arms sells a cheap one if you are low on cash. I believe it is around 39.00. Hope this helps!Edit: meant to also say not sure any mount will clear a fixed A2 rear sight. IMO, you should use a 1 piece scope mount. Burris P.E.P.R. 30mm mount or similar.

Just make sure it's a sturdy one as this is a fairly large, heavy scope. I have a Bower and it's a bit wobbly, especially at full magnification.

it will not be far enough back for you to be able to see a big view of the target.the scope is not long enough to move it back to get a full view.i got a simmons 3-9/32mm .22mag which fits good.you may want to try that. c.b. hope this will help you.

Not sure how your mounts are, but the scope has a large front end, so on my 243 i had to buy a Set of taller mounts, the scope for me was an excellent purchase i wont another Brand, it was also very easy to sight in. I think it is a great all around investment. I hope my answer helps

I had the 50mm objective lens. So it wouldn't be the same. I went to my local hunting store and they had a chart. Might want to do that. Sorry I couldn't tell ya. But what I have found d out is, if you buy a scope that comes with covers, they are better quality than buyi g covers separately.

I disliked it so much I gave it away. Cheap mount, poor optics. You need to spend some money if you want good optics. I think Eotech is the way to go. Good luck.

They both come with eyepieces great for terrestrial and planetary observation the Mount option is up to you. Equatorial is more accurate for the night sky and the altazimuth is more versatile

Hans, I have personally tried this on the exact spotting scope, being that I used to own one, It will fit perfectly.

Hi, Check on the Warne Scope Mount Website. They have a chart that will tell you everything you want to know.

I would go with a lazer that has a better way of zeroing it in - The thought of doing it wiyh the mount and trying to adjust aimpoint with the allen wrench is a non starter for me - Its kind of like buying a 3x9 scope and trying to 0 it with the mounts - does not compute

This is A heavy scope with a less than perfect center go gravity. I am using an alpena plastic with a fairly wide footprint. It's barely enough. It's plastic. it wiggles a lot when you focus or zoom. Do you own this scope now? Are thinking stars or on the ground. I would not recommend ultima 80 for astronomy. Blue shift issues. Works fine on the ground.

This is generic and will work with any camera. You'll also need the T-adapter for the Canon EF mount. The two of them together are needed to mount an SLR camera. As Micheal pointed out already, whether it will work also depends on the specifics of your telescope. Most scopes of Newtonian design won't reach focus unless a Barlow is added to the stack.
