Features of the TSPSV530 dovetail bar:

The dovetail bar is made of aluminum profile. Through this construction, the weight can be reduced to 60%, compared with a solide profile bar with comparable stability, low vibration and stiffness.

The dovetail bar has support for flat surfaces like the lower part of tube rings. The width is 70 mm - more than most dovetail bars offer. In addition, the bar has different radii for telescopes from 6" to 11" aperture. Thus, the bar can be attached directly to tubes and has full contact to the surface.

The dovetail bar fits directly to telescopes from Celestron (C8, C9.25, C11 and EHD-800, EHD-925, EHD-1100) and Meade (8" SC and 8" ACF - and, with minor adaptions, 10" SC and 10" ACF). Matchings bores exist. For Celestron, even matching screws are included.

Bores and female threads for almost all adaptions exist. Beside bores for Celestron and Meade SCTs, you can attach almost all adaptions to the bar with the long bores and 1/4" female threads.
