Standard Mounting Plate for Sky Watcher from Star Adventurer

The standard mounting plate is mainly used to mount an optical tube or a lens, while allowing for a micrometric rotation of 90° (on the axis corresponding to declination). The hardness of the rotation is adjusted with a brake and the micrometric movement is controlled by a slotted screw.

The micrometric plate, equipped with a Kodak thread pitch (1/4"-20), is removable. It releases a dovetail bar equipped with 2 screws at the Congress pitch (3/8"-16) on each end, allowing for the attachment of 2 independent photo rotules, or one rotule and an optical tube.

It is quite possible to use the micrometric plate on one side and a classic rotule on the other side. The dovetail bar, the micrometric plate, and the 2 screws at the Congress pitch offer a great variety of assemblies in order to adapt to all your needs.
