About This Product

These cases are made of a special resin compound which offers a combination of high elasticity, increased shock absorption, reduced transport weight, and resistance against temperature extremes. They also ensure a perfect barrier against dust, humidity, sand, etc. The Internal padding is cut to accommodate the instruments. Three cases, with a trolley configuration, contain the AZ2000 Ultraport mount; the other one contains the counterweights and shaft, the electronic parts (control box + hand controls and cables), and other small accessories.

About This Product

This special accessory for the AZ2000HPS mount allows the use of two or more telescopes in a side by side setup, optimizing the load of the Mount and taking advantage of the altazimuth configuration. The double telescope option is compatible with all the plates used on the GM2000 series mounts as well as the dual plates making it possible to use 4 telescopes, 2 per side. Designed to offer a great sturdiness with no flexure, it is made from machined aluminum alloy. You can order the AZ2000HPS mount already configured with the double telescope option, or buy it afterward as an accessory.

About This Product

The Losmandy dovetail clamping plate 3” allow the use of standard Losmandy slide bar mounted optical tubes; this product is all CNC machined, black anodized aluminum. Two locking knobs ensure “top of safety” for your instruments. Lenght: 200mm.

About This Product

The “Maxi”-dovetail clamping plate 4″ is designed to accept 4” 10Micron dovetail slide bars, suitable for heavier configurations. Advisable for example for optical tubes larger than 14” or for dual telescope setup. Lenght 200mm; 2 security locking knobs. Note for GM3000 & GM4000 users: Although it should be possible to accommodate this plate directly on the top of the GM3000 & GM4000 mount, due to the low profile of the clamping plates we strongly recommend using the special Flange Adapters 10M3545/10M4545 in order to operate the plate’s knobs with enough clearance.

About This Product

The Losmandy dovetail clamping plate 3″ XL offers a length of 350mm (13.8”) and three security locking knobs, in order to offer a very high level of stability and safety, especially for heavier and longer optical configurations.

About This Product

This special double plate is designed to allow a parallel mounting of two optical tubes on the 10Micron mounts. The bottom slide is a standard 3” dovetail bar (Losmandy compatible) #10M2130; the clamping plates are two 3” Losmandy compatible (#10M2085). All the components are CNC machined, black anodized aluminum. There are 3 different possible distances between the two clamps: approx. 210, 245 and 281mm (8.3”, 9.6”, 11”). Note: – The GM1000 HPS Mount needs the #10M1105 Adapter in order to mantain the corret encoder’s position references – All the other mounts require a #10M2085 or #10M2185 3″ Losmandy clamping plate.
