However, many common accessories, such as guide scopes and finders, use the narrower Vixen profile. This rail bridges that gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 394 mm anodized aluminum dovetail rail mounts onto the existing Losmandy rail of your 8-inch RC. This gives you a Vixen platform where you can attach accessories without modifying your telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Zwaluwstaart-Pro-RC-8-1.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Pro RC dovetail bar with Vixen profile\" title=\"\"><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Omegon-Zwaluwstaart-Pro-RC-8-.jpg\" alt=\"Omegon Pro RC dovetail bar with Vixen profile\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vixen-style dovetail bar, 394 mm long<\/li><li>For 8 inch RC telescopes<\/li><li>Two countersunk mounting holes and two M6 threaded holes<\/li><li>Allen key included<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intended for the 8-inch RC.
