Frequently Asked Questions

What makes it “universal”?
Instead of a hole pattern matched to one specific telescope, the bar carries a variety of mounting hole options — so one bar handles different mounts, accessories, and general-purpose mounting jobs. The product drawing shows the full layout.

Which length do I need?
The 7″ bar is the all-rounder — enough hole positions for most accessory and small-OTA jobs without extra bulk. Tighter space? The 4″ bar . Longer tubes or more balance range? The 14″ bar .

Is V-size the same as Vixen?
Yes — V-size is the Vixen-style dovetail, the smaller of the two common dovetail standards (the larger being the D-size, or Losmandy-style). This bar drops into any V-size saddle.
