Stargazing with a manual mount is now SO COMFORTABLE!NOTE: Mount and other items displayed in the pictures are NOT included.Tracked Shipping ServiceYou agree to pay import taxes, if any, when you order hereCompatible with any other mount with M8 threads of 35mm intervalBUT might require longer screws which we do not provideSimply attach this guide handle in-between the Vixen saddle/clamp and the mount. Refer to last picture for proper installation. Aiming your PORTA mounted OTA around the sky usually means grabbing the focuser or star diagonal and then using this "handle" to point your scope. This often results in twisting the star diagonal out of alignment, getting gear grease on fingers or even having the star diagonal+eyepiece combination fall off onto the hard ground below....Yikes! At any rate, the usual method is, oh, so, well,... inelegant....And perhaps not very accurate either. And certainly not convenient... Instead of grabbing and then man-handling the focuser, the simple addition of a robust handle to the altitude axis of the PORTA removes all this lack of finesse with a quick and easy installation. This Guide Handle, designed specifically for use on PORTA mounts (and the Explore Scientific Twilight I & II mounts), has a foam covered grip on the end that keeps fingers warm, and lets you become the true master of your trusty PORTA mount. The Guide Handle, for both PORTA and PORTA II mounts, attaches in about 5 easy minutes, and the necessary tools are included with your PORTA mount. Attachment involves removing the dovetail saddle plate on the altitude axis, slipping it over the Guide Handle, then re-bolting the combination back on to the altitude axis, a very simple procedure that is also kind of fun to perform. Highly recommended for all PORTA and PORTA II users. 2 versions are available. The Pro Saddle option (to be available soon) includes an upgraded professional quality and multi-purpose saddle with a gripping jaw instead of 2 screws. This offers a stronger connection at the interface. No worries of your telescope dropping! There is no need to get any other parts. The allen key wrench is a standard accessory of both mounts. What's included 1 piece of Guide Handle with foam grip, 2 screws Tips: Use one hand to hold both the saddle and handle together during installation. Attach at a 45-degree angle from the altitude slow-motion controls to avoid any possible collision between the two.ATTENTION: Please email us if you have not received your item 3 weeks AFTER the shipping date.
