This kit, composed of plate 495mm Losmandy style PLUS dovetail plate and PLUS curved blocks, can be installed either below (for connecting a Losmandy type dovetail bar under the telescope) and above (for supporting a parallel telescope) to the C9.25 or C11 Schmidt-Cassegrain or EdgeHD 925 and 1100 aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes by Celestron.
The curved blocks can be easily installed on C9.25, C11, EdgeHD 925 and EdgeHD 1100 telescopes. Simply remove the screws already on the telescope and fix the curved blocks (one in front, one in rear of the optical tube) and secure with the same screws. On the curved blocks you can then connect the 495mm PLUS Losmandy dovetail bar using 2 M6 screws for each curved block (included in the box).
EdgeHD 925 telescope with the Losmandy PLUS dovetail bar with curved blocks installed both above and below the telescope.
Like all the other elements of the PLUS series, these guide rings are made with high mechanical precision (built with CNC machines from aluminum block) and specially designed to enable you to easily install other mechanical elements such as support rings, plates or dovetail clamps.
The guide rings PLUS 115mm are part of our system PLUS (Prima Luce Universal System) which includes many guide rings, support rings, plates and dovetail clamps to offer you the maximum freedom to build your mechanical system of support, depending on the application that you want to achieve. Indeed, all the PLUS elements have threaded holes, holes and slots suitable for connecting elements, always with maximum rigidity and comfort.
For this application, we designed many elements, including the guide rings PLUS 115mm. Each component of the PLUS system is made of aluminum blocks that are high precision CNC machined. The aluminum is then sandblasted to achieve a very smooth surface finish and is anodized (hard anodizing) to increase the hardness of the material and protect it from oxidation.
Thanks to the particular design, the guide rings PLUS 115mm can be:
- screwed (with 2 screws each) directly on all the PLUS compatible support rings or with a single screw on support rings from other brands (which have a center hole).
- screwed (with 2 screws each) on the PLUS dovetail clamps: if you install a Vixen or Losmandy PLUS plate above the support rings of your telescope, you can slide the guide rings in the perfect position to properly balance the weight of the guide telescope.
If you have other brands mechanical accessories, you can still use all the elements of the PLUS system. Indeed we have provided a series of central slots that allow, for example, to fix on these guide rings on plates or support rings through a screw.
Scope of delivery: 2 guide rings with support screws for guide scope, 2 additional plates for installation on the EAGLE, 4 M5x12 screws, 4 M6x12 screws.
