10x60 Quick Release Guider Bracket. Needs QRBASEG, QRHANDLE or ACSD07 with SBV08 (S1060QRGB)

Description

Transform your Baader 10 x 60 Vario- Finder (1060VQ) into a guidescope with this Guider Bracket. The combination will be perfect for improving your autoguiding technique. It is lightweight, yet provides a flexure-free mounting configuration that removes the problem of flexure in your guide scope’s focuser.

The Guider Bracket can be used with any guidescope that has a body length of at least 3 1/4" (83 mm) and a diameter between 2 1/4" (60 mm) and 2 5/8" (67 mm), allowing room for adjustability.

Additional accessories needed may include a 40 mm T-2 Extension Tube (BP25B) and/or a 15 mm T-2 Extension Tube (BP25A), depending on the guidescope and camera you use.

Weight: 9.9 oz. (.28 kg)

Mounting Options

Base for 10 x 60 Quick Release Guider Bracket (QRBASEG)

The QRBASEG option is appropriate for telescopes with finder bracket holes near the focuser. This is the recommended attachment method so that guiding will follow your scope’s movement, not that of the scope’s rings and mounting plate.

The image above shows the SBIG ST-i used as a guide camera. It is a very light weight camera configuration.

Handle with Dovetail Slot for Guidescope and Finder Brackets, STARFMD & PICQRM2. For 6.3" ring spacing and 1/4-20 threaded holes. (QRHANDLE)

The QRHANDLE is ideal for smaller scopes like the 92 Stowaway, 110GTX, 130GTX or any scope with rings that are spaced 6.3" apart. Use the handle to carry your scope to the mount, then slip the bottom rail of the guider bracket into the dovetail slot. Two functions in one!

7" V-Style Light-Weight Dovetail Accessory Saddle (ACSD07) with 8" Vixen-Style Dovetail Sliding Bar (SBV08)

You may also consider the ACSD07 and SBV08 combo for the top of the mounting rings of your smaller refractor like the Stowaway or 110GTX. The bottom rail of the guider rings attaches to the SBV08 which then slides into accessory saddle plate. The rings must be spaced 6.3" apart, have a flat top surface and a center 1/4-20 hole in each ring. This combination allows you to attach other accessories to the SBV08, if you choose.

See this link for the attachment hole pattern.

Other Options
