Power/USB Telescope Mounting system

Prints (0)

Description

This is a system I developed to help the Astrophotographer with mounting accessories needed for their craft.  There are many powered devices to keep track of on a telescope used for astrophotography.  This clamp system is intended for use on the telescope leg.  It is sized for the 2" leg common on Skywatcher EQ6R Pro, Orion Atlas, Celestron tripods.

You will need M4 x 16mm long screws, washers and M4 nuts.  The nuts press into the clamp and holds it captive.

The power-usb mount has slots to pass zip ties through to make a neat and tidy installation.  Its integrated dovetail allows easy install when setting up and easy removal during tear down after a long night of imaging.

These parts were printed using standard settings from Cura/Creality slicer for generic PLA.  For best results these parts will require supports.

The use of PETG is recommended if you do a lot of cold weather astrophotography.

Look for my other dovetail accessories for things such as NUC pcs as well as clamps for other size tripod legs.
