Omegon Pro RC Dovetail - instantly make your RC telescope more versatile<\/strong>
The Omegon Pro RC Dovetail is designed to easily and securely attach accessories to your 8\u2033 RC telescope. This rail works with your existing Losmandy rails and gives you the freedom to use Vixen accessories. This way you build your setup step by step, without complicated modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One rail, many more possibilities<\/strong>
RC telescopes often have an upper and lower 3\u2033 Losmandy rail. However, many popular accessories, such as tracking scopes and guide systems, use the Vixen profile. This dovetail forms the bridge between the two systems. You mount it on the Losmandy rail and then use Vixen accessories on your tube without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Omegon<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stable base for accessories and photography<\/strong>
The rail is made of anodized aluminum and feels solid. Accessories stay firmly in place, even during longer sessions. This makes for a stable unit, which is important if you are starting out in astrophotography and want reliable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart design, quickly assembled<\/strong>
Pre-drilled threads and countersunk mounting holes make installation easy. Everything connects neatly, with no play. The included Allen wrench means you can get started right away, without looking for extra tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also suitable for alternative mounting<\/strong>
In addition to use on top of your RC telescope, you can also use this rail on the bottom. This way, you mount your tube on a mount with a GP\/Vixen profile, giving extra flexibility when putting together your setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
