The Losmandy PS Polar Scope provides simple and quick polar alignment for your Losmandy mount. It is not necessary to use setting circles and complicated calculations for proper polar alignment (see box below). The polar scope can be illuminated through the 12V plug on the mount.

Dual Telescope Mounting Plate

For astro-imaging you often need to find a way to mount two telescopes parallel to each other. One telescope is used as primary telescope for photography, the other is used as a guide scope. The classical solution of piggy-back mounting a second telescope bears several disadvantages. The Losmandy Dual Telescope Mounting Plate is a much more elegant solution:

- shorter lever arms
- less strain for the mount
- the thin tube rings of a telescope tend to bend under the load of a guide scope, making guiding much less precise. The dual telescope mounting plate doesn't bend even under heavy loads

On both dovetail clamps telescopes with 3" (Losmandy format) dovetail plates can be mounted. You can balance the system even if one telescope is much heavier than the other by moving the plate laterally.

Anti Vibration Pads

"Glow in the dark" anti vibration pads for Losmandy and other-brand tripods. These pads come between the tripod and the ground. They offer much better vibration dampening properties than the ground, resulting in quicker elimination of vibrations. The pads glow in the dark for up to 15 hours, of course without blinding the user.

Counterweights


Losmandy 3.5kg counterweight


Losmandy 5kg counterweight


Losmandy 10kg counterweight

We always recommend to have additional counterweight on the counterweight shaft rather than using less counterweights further from the center. That way you will keep down vibrations and will of course also have reserves for heavy accessories.

Losmandy counterweights fit Losmandy GM8, G-11 and Titan mounts.

Stainless Steel Counterweights for Losmandy Mounts


Stainless steel counterweights
elegant design

We always recommend to have additional counterweight on the counterweight shaft rather than using less counterweights further from the center. That way you will keep down vibrations and will of course also have reserves for heavy accessories.

Original Losmandy counterweights do not share the same clean looks of the mounts themselves. For this reason Telescope-Service offers two sizes of stainless steel counterweights - precision machined.

Stainless steel counterweights can also be custom made to fit other mounts. Please request your best prices!

Digital Setting Circles

Unlike conventional GoTo drives that remember only the relative position of a mount and need to be realigned whenever you manually move the mount digital setting circles use absolute encoders that will recognize the mount's position even when using the mount manually. Dedicated Astro computers, such as those made by JMI ( German Presentation ) will guide your way to the object.

Losmandy digital setting circles come with a complete assembly kit, you only need to buy the computer separately. The encoders fit GM8 and G-11 mounts with a resolution of 2048 lines.
