The Side-by-Side Mounting Plates allow two telescopes to be installed in parallel on the same mount, making them useful for both photographic and visual applications.
With this system, it is possible, for example, to install a camera (e.g. a DSLR) parallel to the main telescope.
Thanks to their special design, the Side-by-Side Losmandy plates from the "PLUS" series can be used as follows:
- for photographic applications where it is necessary to use two telescopes on the same mount
- You can mount a primary telescope and a larger guide scope, or just a DSLR camera for
wide-field photography with a guidescope
- for visual applications where it makes sense to use two telescopes in parallel for the respective purpose
This plate can be connected to all mounts with a Losmandy mount, and the two prism clamps have a
distance of 310 mm.
