Planewave Piggyback Dovetail Bars

A piggyback dovetail bar allows you to mount secondary equipment, such as a guide scope, camera, or finder, directly on top of your telescope's optical tube. It creates a stable, dedicated platform so you can expand your imaging or observation setup without cluttering your primary mount.

These bars are designed specifically for the Planewave CDK, DR, IRDK, and RC series telescopes ranging from 12.5 to 24 inches. Please check the compatibility list in the specifications to ensure your exact model is supported before purchasing.

Yes, this assembly is fully compatible with the industry-standard Losmandy D-style accessory system. This ensures you can easily attach and swap out a wide variety of third-party accessories that utilize the same mounting standard.

The kit comes complete with the necessary mounting brackets and the dovetail bar itself. You will have everything required to secure the assembly to your optical tube right out of the box.

Yes, adding any accessory to the top of your optical tube will shift the center of gravity. You should be prepared to rebalance your telescope on its primary mount once the bar and any secondary equipment are installed to ensure smooth tracking.
