Farpoint Dovetail System · Complete Bar Kit
Everything to put your Vixen VMC260L on a D-size saddle — bar, radius blocks, and hardware in one kit.
This complete kit mounts the Vixen VMC260L optical tube on any D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle. The 23.75″ dovetail bar pairs with radius blocks machined to match the VMC260L tube, spreading the clamping load across the curve of the optical tube instead of pinching it at two points. Mounting screws included; CNC-machined in the USA from black anodized aluminum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wait — a D-size bar for a Vixen telescope?
Yes — two different uses of the name. Vixen is the telescope brand that makes the VMC260L; "Vixen-style" is also the name of the narrow dovetail standard. This kit mounts the Vixen VMC260L tube on the wider D-size (Losmandy-style) standard — the right choice for a tube this size.
What's included, and where are the dimensions?
The 23.75″ D-size dovetail bar, radius blocks machined to match the Vixen VMC260L tube, and the mounting screws — everything needed to attach the bar to your optical tube. The telescope itself is not included. The bar drawing shows the hole pattern and measurements.
What mounts will this work with?
Any mount with a D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle — Losmandy, and the many mounts that accept the wider D standard. Mount still has a small Vixen saddle? Our D-size saddles and conversions upgrade it.
