Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Dec Bracket

Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer Dec Bracket

Sky-Watcher's Star Adventurer Dec Bracket is a fine-tuning mounting assembly that is used to attach a lightweight telescope with a 1/4" thread onto the Star Adventurer Mount. The bracket has a Vixen-style dovetail plate on the bottom that fits onto the mount's saddle, the flat plate on one end features a 1/4"-20 screw for the OTA and on the opposite end is a socket for an optional counterweight shaft. 

Features

The Dec. Bracket features a slow motion geared head for easy adjustment in the Dec. axis. There is a threaded hole in one end of the dovetail to facilitate the inclusion of an optional counterweight. The Star Adventurer Dec. Bracket allows for larger telephoto lenses and small telescopes to be used.

These smooth adjustments are perfect when using longer focal length optics where large movements are not needed for centering the target. The Dec. Bracket also allows for an addition ball head to be mounted using its open 3/8 threaded post (opposite the gear head).

You must have the Dec. Bracket to use the Star Adventurer counter weight kit. The counter weight rod threads into the Dec. Bracket.
