Baader Dovetail Bar L style
The dovetail bar is the link between the telescope and the mount. The bar should be stiff, but not unnecessarily heavy. Due to the profile construction, these Baader dovetails are just as stable as bars made of solid material, only much lighter.
The 3" or "Losmandy" dovetail format has been designed by Losmandy for larger mounts and is now in common usage among many different manufacturers.
Compatible telescopes
The dovetail rail has pre-drilled holes for C9.25 and C11 Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain. It is of course also possible to connect a different telescope with a pair of tube rings.
Top side with profile
A special feature of the Baader bars is the upper side, which is designed for different radii. So you can mount tube rings with flat support as well as tubes with different diameters. The bar always rests fully on the tube via two edges. This allows you to attach optical tubes to mounts without tube rings.
Parallel photography or tube weights for your telescope
The dovetail bar can also be used as a base for a camera mount that can be mounted on a saddle or for barrel weights on your telescope. All you have to do is drill two holes in your tube and you´re ready to mount the bar. The bar then fits dovetail clamps for a camera (parallel photography), a guide tube or a set of barrel weights for an exact balance.
Suitable for the following mountings:
The dovetail bar fits all mounts with Losmandy style saddle plate, such as: Losmandy GM8, G11 and AZ8 Skywatcher (N)EQ6, EQ6-R, AZ-EQ6, EQ8 10 Micron GM1000 and GM2000/3000/4000 with 3" saddle plate Software Bisque Paramount ME II, MX+, MyT Astro-Physics with 3" saddle plate Celestron CGEM II, CGX and CGX-L iOptron CEM 40, CEM 60, CEM 120 and AZ Mount Pro TrackTheStar TTS-160 Panther

"Saubere Verarbeitung, hochwertige Ausführung."

"Ich verwende die Schiene am ***, um den DEC-Schwerpunkt bei unterschiedlicher Zuladung großzügig verschieben zu können. Durch die an der Oberseite ""gerundete"" Ausführung kann die Taukappe trotz der langen Schiene beim Transport voll eingeschoben werden, ohne die Schiene zu demontieren. Sehr stabile Ausführung und dennoch verhältnismäßig leicht."
