Description

Dovetail Mounting Base for Astronomical Equatorial Mounts

This aluminium alloy dovetail mounting base is designed to provide a secure and stable interface between astronomical telescopes and equatorial mounts. Its rigid construction and reinforced fixing system make it suitable for medium to large telescope mounting applications where strength and reliability are essential.

Durable Aluminium Alloy Construction

Manufactured from high-quality aluminium alloy, the mounting base offers an excellent balance of strength and weight. The rigid structure helps maintain alignment while remaining manageable for portable and semi-permanent observatory setups.
