Description

Telescope Control Center Platform – Inline (Lengthwise)

A platform that will clamp on to any Losmandy or Vixen type dovetail and allow the user to create their own telescope control center.

The modular design can be used to configure the platform with mini PCs, ZWO ASIAIRs, and power distribution hubs.

Benefits

  • Single unit – can be conveniently transferred from one telescope to another without rewiring
  • Much lighter – than using multiple clamps and brackets, the weight reduction increases mount performance and image quality

  • 9x mounting positions  – also, devices can be rotated to any orientation

    was good for the Mele PC but didn’t have anything for the QHY Polemaster – Would like to have that

    I have been using an “inline” control center platform (vixen) on the top of my CarbonStar 150, the quality of the product is A+, and it provides a plethora of mounting options for just about any accessory you can think of!

    One big advantage of using one of these is that you can populate it with ASIAir, guider etc and move all your accessories in one move from one scope to another!!!

  20. Robert

    Ordered Vixen but now ive upgraded to a Losmandy bar scope, too bad they don’t work on both and you need to pick one version.

  21. Steve Mastellotto

    Love mine with ASIAir. Lightweight and plenty of space for other equipment like auto guider.

  22. Todd

    Great solution to mount a PC and usb/power controller. Unit can stay intact and moved to different scopes. I chose this route over all-in-one computer like Eagle, etc.

  23. Erik Tarbell

    An excellent modular solution for astronomy accessories made with the same quality as Rouz’s other products. I have the Quieter and Optec Lynx brackets and I highly recommend them!
