  • 2.1lb Counterweight for EQ-1 & Min-EQ Mounts Orion Telescopes 2.1lb Counterweight for EQ-1 & Min-EQ Mounts
    Orion Telescopes 07398 - 2.1lb Counterweight for EQ-1 & Min-EQ Mounts The 2.1lb counterweight for the Orion EQ-1 and Min-EQ equatorial mounts lets you take full advantage of the equatorial mount's tracking abilities, even when you have a small amount of equipment attached. Ideal for use with smaller equipment payloads such as a DSLR camera or small telescope, the narrow 2.1lb counterweight will not make contact with the EQ-1M motor drive housing during extensive motorized tracking of celestial objects. If you are, for example, performing wide-field astrophotography using a DSLR camera and a wide camera lens, this narrow counterweight provides enough weight to balance the DLSR properly on the equatorial mount, and it won't interfere with the EQ-1M motor drive housing while tracking. Many standard 5lb and heavier counterweights are too heavy to achieve proper balance with lighter equipment payloads on an equatorial mount. In most cases you must position the heavy counterweight all the way up the counterweight shaft to optimize balance. In this position, the standard wide counterweight can make contact with the EQ-1M motor drive, making it impossible to track an object for extended periods of time. This narrow 2.1lb counterweight is perfect for achieving proper balance with lighter equipment, and its narrow 46mm (1.8) diameter will not make contact with the EQ-1M motor drive, no matter what the orientation is of the Right Ascension axis. Now you can track celestial objects all night long without having to worry! Rated: 0/10 0 Reviews
  • Wide Dovetail Saddle for Atlas EQ-G Telescope Mount (2009) Orion Telescopes Wide Dovetail Saddle for Atlas EQ-G Telescope Mount (2009)
    Orion Telescopes 07951 - Wide Dovetail Saddle for Atlas EQ-G Telescope Mount (2009) For years, telescope manufacturers have typically utilized two types of dovetail mounting systems. A wide version (such as the one used by Losmandy) and a narrow version (which fits telescopes made by Orion, Vixen, etc.). Unfortunately, this limited which Optical Tube Assembly could be used with your mount. Specifically if you had a telescope or tube ring system with a wide dovetail bar, and wanted to use our Orion Atlas EQ-G Mount which requires the narrow bar. With the new Wide Dovetail Saddle, your Atlas mount can be joined in harmony with its non-Orion OTA companion. Simply remove the narrow saddle and replace it with wide saddle. There are two saddles available with slightly different base components. Atlas mounts manufactured in 2009 require the #7951 saddle, whereas Atlas mounts made prior to 2009 accept only the #7950 saddle. If you're not sure which vinatge of moutn you have, simply measure the height of the declination collar with a metric ruler. For Atlas mounts manufactured in 2009, the collar is 57mm tall and will require saddle #7951. For those made before 2009, the collar is 53mm and will require saddle #7950. Both Wide Dovetail Saddles are precision machined from die-cast aluminum for long-lasting durability. The spring-loaded, split-clamp design allows the saddle to be opened wide for easy drop-in attachment of the dovetail bar. Two large knobs provide excellent grip for tightening the saddle clamp, even with gloves on. Rated: 0/10 0 Reviews
