Metal Dovetail Adapter for EQ Mounts

This high-utility dovetail adapter converts wide-rail telescope optical tubes for use with narrow-rail equatorial mounts. Crafted from durable metal, it ensures longevity and resistance to wear under regular field use. At 205 x 102 mm, the plate provides optimal size—large enough for secure mounting, yet compact enough for easy handling and storage. Its narrow rail interface is accurately sized at 43.4 mm to match standard Vixen-style dovetails, enabling rapid and repeatable tube attachment. The locking screw features a pull-out function to accommodate varying wrench angles, simplifying installation in constrained setups. An M8 threaded insert allows optional counterweight mounting directly onto the plate—supporting fine-tuned balancing without modifying the OTA or adding external brackets.
