The Farpoint Dovetail Saddle — Puck Adapter EQ6 is a 7″ D-size (Losmandy-style) dovetail saddle with a built-in EQ6 “puck” adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EQ6 puck adapter?

EQ6-style mounts attach their saddle through a round “puck” interface on the mount head. This saddle has that puck adapter built in, so it bolts onto the EQ6-style interface and upgrades the mount to clamp full D-size (Losmandy-style) dovetail bars.

What dovetail bars does it clamp?

D-size (Losmandy-style) bars — the wider of the two standards. It does not clamp the narrower V-size (Vixen-style) bars. Not sure which you have? The dovetail guide shows how to tell.

Is a dovetail bar included?

No — this is the saddle only. Pair it with one of our universal D-size dovetail bars or use the D bar already on your telescope.
