TS-Optics Dual Mount XXL for large telescopes
A dual mount is the most stable way for attaching two telescopes to one mount. The L50-SBS is the most solid fastening from Teleskop-Service. At one side, it holds instruments up to 50 kg and at the other one instruments up to 30 kg. The extra wide distance of 430 mm, always measured from middle to middle, allows also attaching of telescope tubes with large diameter.
The advantages of the TS-Optics L50-SBS dual mount:
Designed extra stable for telescopes up to 50 kg Extra wide even for thick telescope tubes Base dovetail with 15 mm thickness to prevent vibrations Extra stable Losmandy style saddle plates of hardened aluminum and with clamping jaw of brass The design of the L50-SBS allows 100% balancing of the telescope on the mount.
Why is a dual mount superior to mounting on the tube rings?
Usually, tube rings provide only a small support area and, due to the felt liner, they are not very stable. The guiding scope or telephoto lens can move relatively to the main telescope. Additionally, lever is more unfavourable. The mount is clearly higher burdened than with the dual mount. The guiding scope is significantly closer to the centre of gravity of the mount. Balancing the instruments is easier with the dual mount, too.
Among others, the L50-SBS dual mount is suitable for the following mounts:

"It´s a good product that could be even better if both rails were of the wide type."
