This was great! My EdgeHD 8 (C8) had a V-style ADM XL bar that was 18” long for balancing my back heavy C8 with a Moonlite focuser. I wanted the D-style for greater stability but ADM did not have one for the C8. I emailed Anthony and he used the specs of existing but shorter C8 bars and he built this one for me. It worked marvels! Now my back heavy scope balances and is more stable! ADM is great and am glad to see this XL version D-style bar for C8 available.

Really well made, and my telescope feels a lot more secure on my mount. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to install it on my C8. The only thing I don’t like is that I can’t get to two of the screws that hold the radius blocks to my scope without removing the dovetail. It just threw me off because normally I leave everything a little loose until it’s all together. Really that’s a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, so I’ll still give it 5 stars.
