Farpoint Dovetail System · Universal Bar
Put your DSLR on the mount itself — a 7″ D-size bar with a standard 1/4-20 camera thread.
This 7″ D-size (Losmandy-style) dovetail bar carries a standard 1/4-20 camera mount thread, so you can mount your DSLR camera and lens directly in your equatorial mount's saddle — no telescope required — for tracked, long-exposure wide-field photos. For mounts with a D-size or "Losmandy" type dovetail saddle. CNC-machined in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is this for?
Wide-field astrophotography without a telescope. Your DSLR and lens bolt to the bar's 1/4-20 thread, the bar drops into your equatorial mount's D-size saddle, and the mount tracks the sky while the camera takes long exposures.
Will it fit my mount?
It fits any mount with a D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle. If your mount has a smaller Vixen-style saddle, our D-size saddles and conversions upgrade it.
Can I aim the camera somewhere other than where the mount points?
With the bar's fixed 1/4-20 thread, the camera follows the mount's aim. For independent framing, the ball head camera adapter adds full articulation on top of the dovetail.
