Hi David, I had a similar problem when I ordered one of these off amazon. It arrived without the mount so I had to look for one. turns out, unless you buy the telescope straight from Orion, they will not sell the mount separately. However, if it was bought off of amazon you should be able to send it back. I contacted amazon and they gave me a full refund including shipping and they paid return shipping. Hope this helped =]

Hi there! I used the Orion Dovetail L bracket to fix my PST atop my NexStar 4SE mount. Here is the product URL:Orion 5052 Dovetail L-Bracket for VersaGo Telescope Mount

This is what I bought for mine and it is a must have for the xt8. Its very powerful for a finder scope also. You can see the moons on jupiter with this.

I cannot, but I can give you my perspective on the StarMax 90 mm by Orion. It is small, portable, and clear, but I wear glasses, and it is hard to see through with the 10x eyepiece. I think all of the small scopes will be. I wish I had spent the extra $100 and bought the 6" Dobsonian mounted reflector, but I wanted to use this during the day for spotting animals from a distance. I gave this as a present to my wife who hasn't worked with the telescope yet, and she may have different opinions. I did get her the camera mount, polar lens, and an extra eye piece that doubles the magnification. I think that you'll find that both are probably one in the same IMO. I do like the table top mount that the Orion has. I think once the weather warms we will be able to give a more thorough opinion. I think I will end up getting the reflector with the Dobsonian mount the color CCD eyepiece from Orion, and a few extras. If you have room I'd suggest the 6" reflector, or this http://www.telescope.com/Orion-XT45-Dobsonian-Telescope-amp-Beginner-Barlow-Kit/p/102027.uts . I feel that we may outgrow the Starmax 90, but I think the 4.5 or 6 with Dobsonian would well used for the lifetime of star gazing.

no, this fits the telescope itself only. you'll need separate case for tripod.

It will work. I did have to drill two holes for mounting in the tube of the telescope.

It should work. I put it on a Celestron 127EQ with minimal mounting space. It appears by photos I have seen of your model telescope that it should mount without a problem. You might want to consider buying a 4" Riser.

Search Amazon for T-Ring or T-mount adapter. Have a search on Google too. You have to buy one for specifically for the Minolta/Sony mount. I think Celestron do them themselves too.

Yes I believe it does. I think the barrel size of most (probably not all) telescope eye pieces is 1.25". I've looked on Orion's website and it appears your telescope has that barrel size eye piece so it should work fine but double check for yourself. http://www.telescope.com/mobileProduct/Telescopes/Dobsonian-Telescopes/Classic-Dobsonians/Orion-SkyQuest-XT45-Classic-Dobsonian-Telescope/pc/1/c/12/sc/13/102009.utsHope that helps.

Probably. I don't know much about telescopes. It's really nice. My teaching partner bought it but no longer works with me. You can buy it from me for quite a discount.

Ty, I have not yet had need to do that. I am going to guess the answer is NO, meaning they probably can't process a pro rated sale for the replacement mount. I would suggest that you ask around at local bike shops. If you have some independent shop, I'm positive they could have a replacement part that will fit or be adjusted to fit properly. In my area, we have a hole in the wall, CHEAP bike shop that stocks millions of parts, tires, etc...I can try to check there this weekend and see if they have such an apparatus that will fit with the light, then send it to you....let me know.

Depends on the eyepiece. It threads up to a 1.25" eyepiece. I'm not sure what the XT8 has.

The mount is very, very sturdy and should work for just about any small or mid size scope with a dovetail type attachment and even some larger scopes. I had no trouble procuring and attaching a dovetail plate to my optical tube. I'm not familiar with the specific scope you are asking about but it has worked amazingly well with my relatively long 4.5" Meade refractor. I'd check your scope weight against the mount's weight rating just to be sure. Good Luck!
