Astromania Guide Scope Mount - the convenient way to mount your guide scope

Description

The Astromania guide scope mount provides a way of quickly and easily mounting your guide scope onto your main telescope. Simply attach this compact component to the piggyback mount of your telescope and you have a parallel mounting for your guide scope. Not only that, but it lets you finely adjust the small second telescope in altitude and azimuth. Have you ever wanted to be able to mount the guide scope onto another telescope without the bother of having to adjust a lot of screws? This becomes easily feasible if all your telescopes have a standard piggyback mount for cameras.This mount is also highly suitable for travel use, as you can simply attach the mount onto a tripod. It is just as easy to locate a suitable guide star as when using guide scope rings. The guide scope mount has a ¼" thread for mounting on the telescope. There is accommodation for a GP / Vixen / EQ-5 prism on the top of the unit. A thumb screw on the side lets you easily attach an OTA of up to about 1.5kg in weight.
