A listing that was never written

Five bullets labelled Feature1 to Feature5, containing the words dovetail, dovetail, astronomical telescope, dovetail plate slash slot, and astronomical telescope accessory. They are placeholders from a template.

What the title suggests

A wide dovetail plate with a narrow track, described as a main multifunction plate, in red. That configuration exists — a broad plate carrying a narrower rail — and it is used where a guide scope and a camera share one bar.

What cannot be established

Length, width, profile, thread sizes, hole spacing, material, weight. All of it.

The one practical note

Red. Anything dropped on dark grass at midnight is easier to find if it is not black, and that is the only advantage this page can honestly attribute to this listing.

Availability

German, French and Italian Amazon stores ran from 25 € to 38 € on the day of the survey.

British Amazon store lists it in local currency, which the euro range above sets aside.

American and Spanish Amazon catalogues hold a record for it that nobody is selling.
