Note that there are different angled surfaces on the dovetail brackets on the saddle. In addition to physically moving
the dovetail to accommodate the differing width of Losmandy or Vixen it is important to orient the bracket so that the
pitch to the dovetail matches the corresponding mount. Note that Losmandy style mounting configuration utilizes the
larger, more pronounced pitch. See above
