Optec Libra Alt-Azimuth Dovetail Adjustment System

Optec’s new Libra Alt-Az adjustable mounting base allows easy adjustment in altitude and azimuth of guide scopes mounted to a Losmandy-style dovetail system. Unlike simple 2-axis stage adjusting systems that allow alignment of an imaging camera on a secondary scope, the Libra Alt-Az allows easy alignment of a secondary scope’s optical axis to that of the primary.

For a much better view of the Optec Libra’s adjustment mechanisms, springs, dovetail, and saddle, take a look at our “Additional Images and Articles” section to your left. You’ll see why this ingenious piece of new engineering has our staff so excited!
