Dovetail bars

In most of the cases the telescope can be mounted using dovetails providing fast setup.

More about the product

Dovetail bars might be slightly different from different manufacturers. 

The Vixen-type bars are 43 mm wide, available with different length and design. They are compatible with the smaller mounts from Sky-Watcher and Celestron, or ZWO.

The Losmandy-type dovetail bars are 76 mm wide, and the larger mounts can be accepted, like EQ6 and up (from SkyWatcher).

Pros

Tömör és hosszú, ezáltal sokkal merevebben tart, ez különbözteti meg a társaitól

Summary

Én ugyan nem terheltem meg a maximummal, de hosszú tubushoz (több mint, 1m) használtam és nem éreztem túlzásnak. Szerintem ezen nem érdemes spórolni, ha nehéz és/vagy hosszú a műszer, akkor ezt kell megvenni.

Pros

Segítségével egyszerűen csatlakoztatható a távcső a mechanikára. Több furat is található benne, ezért tetszés szerint lehet a távcsövet előrébb-hátrébb helyezni a mechanikán.

Cons

Az egypontos rögzítés miatt a távcső valamivel instabilabb, mint tubusgyűrűkkel való rögzítésnél. Az ára kicsit magasabb, mint amit indokoltnak érzek.
