Farpoint Dovetail System · Complete Bar Kit
Everything to put your Meade 10″ SCT on a D-size saddle — bar, radius blocks, and hardware in one kit.
This complete kit mounts the Meade 10″ SCT on any D-size (Losmandy-style) saddle. The 17.25″ dovetail bar pairs with radius blocks machined to match the 10″ 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.
