Everything to put your Celestron 14″ SCT on a D-size saddle — bar, radius blocks, and hardware in one kit.
This complete kit mounts the Celestron 14″ SCT on any D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle. The 23.75″ dovetail bar pairs with radius blocks machined to match the 14″ tube, spreading the clamping load across the curve of the optical tube instead of pinching it at two points. Mounting screws included; CNC-machined in the USA from black anodized aluminum.
Specifications
Which Celestron Kit?
Already own a D-size bar? You only need the Celestron 14″ radius blocks.
Imaging with the C-14? The heavy-duty 1.5″-thick plate cuts vibration and settling time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the kit?
The 23.75″ D-size dovetail bar, radius blocks machined to match the Celestron 14″ tube, and the mounting screws — everything needed to attach the bar to your optical tube. The telescope itself is not included. The bar drawing shows the hole pattern and measurements.
What mounts will this work with?
Any mount with a D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle — Losmandy, and the many mounts that accept the wider D standard. Mount still has a small Vixen saddle? Our D-size saddles and conversions upgrade it.
Should I get this kit or the heavy-duty C14 plate?
This standard kit handles visual use and general duty well. For automated imaging rigs, the heavy-duty C14 plate is 1.5″ thick — many times stiffer — which cuts vibration, settling time, and auto-guider workload.
