A few weeks ago I put in a an order for a DS60EC with a department store for $170, but there were none in stock. Travelling to South America for Time Off from work, I decided to pick one up at Service Merchandise for $200. I'm glad I did since now with the previously purchased (Ebay) adapter plate installed, I have an 80f5 "GOTO". |

My 80f5 is a Celestron 80mm Wide View Spotting Scope, model #52260. |

Hopefully these images show how it is mounted to the DS60 yoke. The nuts securing the adapter plate are original to the DS60 and were dificult to remove so I capitaklized on a visit to my car mechanic to use his vise grip and wrench. The flanges on my adapter were almost too short but worked out ok. |
