Farpoint Dovetail System · Side-by-Side Tandem Bar
Two telescopes, one mount — with more elbow room between them.
The Farpoint 18 Inch Side by Side Tandem Connecting Bar connects two D- or V-size saddles to your D-size-compatible mount in a tandem (side-by-side) configuration — run an imaging scope and a guide scope, or two OTAs, on one mount head, with more spacing between scopes than the 14″ bar allows. Machined from sturdy aluminum with a black anodized finish.

Each bar carries two saddles, sold separately — see our D-size saddles and V-size saddles.
Mind the elbow room. Pick the bar length by the width of your tubes plus working space between them — wider tubes and dew shields need the longer bars.
