Dark Clear Skies Large Reinforced Dovetail Groove – Vixen Standard
The Dark Clear Skies Large Reinforced Dovetail Groove is designed to provide a strong and stable mounting interface for astronomical telescopes and accessories. Manufactured from aluminium alloy and reinforced with dual fixing bolts, it is well suited for larger equatorial mount and gimbal plate applications requiring rigidity and reliability.
Length 150mm Width 100mm Depth 30mm
Vixen-Standard Dovetail Profile
The reinforced dovetail groove is machined to a 75-degree narrow rail profile, compatible with Vixen-standard mounting systems. It is suitable for use with large gimbal plates and equatorial mounts commonly used in astronomical telescope setups.
Reinforced Dual-Bolt Fixing
Two primary fixing bolts provide a secure mechanical connection, improving overall stability and resistance to movement once installed. This reinforced design is intended to maintain alignment under load during visual observing or imaging use.
T-Shaped Copper Reinforcement Block
A reinforced T-shaped copper block is integrated into the clamping system to improve contact stability and load distribution. This helps ensure a firm grip on compatible mounting plates while reducing the risk of slippage.
Multiple Mounting & Through-Hole Options
The dovetail groove features multiple threaded mounting points, through-holes, and side openings, allowing it to be used for a variety of applications. These include mounting optical tubes, primary mirror assemblies, guide scopes, finder scopes, and camera systems, depending on user requirements.
