Software Bisque Paramount MYT Versa-Plate
The Software Bisque Paramount MYT Versa-Plate is the standard mounting interface for the Paramount MYT, providing a robust, pre-engineered solution for attaching your optical tube. Weighing 32 lbs, the plate features a 24 × 10 × 6 in footprint drilled with a comprehensive pattern of holes to eliminate the need for custom fabrication when mounting your telescope.
The 24-inch Versa-Plate: Universal OTA Mounting for the Paramount MYT
The Versa-Plate is designed to securely connect virtually any optical tube assembly directly to the Paramount MYT's saddle. Its primary function is to provide a rigid, stable platform with enough mounting options to accommodate a vast range of telescope rings and dovetail bars. At 32 lbs, the plate adds significant mass to the payload, which must be factored into the mount's total capacity.
-
Pre-Drilled Hole Patterns: A generous array of countersunk holes supports numerous ring spacings and mounting configurations, saving you the time and expense of drilling a custom plate.
-
Integrated Female Dovetail: The plate includes a built-in female dovetail that mates directly and securely with the male dovetail saddle on the Paramount MYT mount.

What is the purpose of the Paramount MYT Versa-Plate?
The Software Bisque Paramount MYT Versa-Plate acts as the interface between your telescope's tube rings or mounting plate and the Paramount MYT mount itself. Its pre-drilled hole patterns are designed to accommodate a wide variety of optical tubes, providing a secure and versatile connection.
Is the Paramount MYT Versa-Plate included with the mount?
Yes, the Versa-Plate is the standard mounting plate and is included with the purchase of a new Software Bisque Paramount MYT mount.
Will the Paramount MYT Versa-Plate fit my Celestron 11" SCT with standard Losmandy-style rings?
Yes. The Versa-Plate's extensive pattern of pre-drilled holes is specifically designed to accommodate common mounting hardware, including the hole spacing found on most tube rings for popular telescopes like an 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain.
Can I use the Paramount MYT Versa-Plate with a mount other than the MYT?
No. This plate is specifically designed with an integrated female dovetail that mates with the unique saddle of the Software Bisque Paramount MYT mount. It is not compatible with other mounts from Software Bisque or other manufacturers.
My Takahashi refractor has a unique ring spacing; can I use the Paramount MYT Versa-Plate?
The Versa-Plate is engineered to accept "virtually any" optical tube mounting configuration. It is highly likely that its hole pattern will align with the tube rings for your Takahashi refractor, either directly or by attaching a dovetail bar from your scope to the plate.
Do I need any additional hardware to attach the Paramount MYT Versa-Plate?
The Versa-Plate attaches directly to the Paramount MYT saddle without additional hardware. You will need the appropriate bolts to attach your specific telescope tube rings or dovetail bar to the Versa-Plate itself.
