This is a mount to attach a telescope with a vixen style dovetail as a guider. I made it for my Meade 6600 with 50mm M6 holes, on the ring. I've used it to mount a Celestron Travel 70 for use as a guide scope, which uses a webcam (Logitech 9000) to get somewhat decent guiding in tests before mounting it.

The OpenSCAD should be pretty easy to read. Look for the clamp width, clamp_mount_hole_distance (50mm by default), clamp_mount_screw_diameter (6mm default).

The screws both need to be on
