What models do these brackets for the Pocket Powerbox Advance fit?
These brackets are compatible with both the Gen1 and Gen2 versions of the Pegasus Astro Pocket Powerbox Advance (PPBADV).
How do these brackets attach to my telescope?
The brackets screw onto both sides of the Pocket Powerbox Advance with the included M3x6mm Allen bolts. The whole assembly then mounts onto your dovetail with the included M4x30mm bolts, spacers and nuts, so it rides with your telescope.
Why should I mount my Pocket Powerbox Advance on the telescope instead of the mount?
Mounting the Powerbox directly to the optical tube assembly is the best practice for cable management. It ensures that cables for your camera, focuser, and dew heaters move with the telescope, preventing them from being pulled, snagged, or tangled as the mount tracks across the sky.
Are the screws included with the Pocket Powerbox Advance brackets?
Yes. The set includes 4 x M3x6mm Allen bolts to attach the brackets to the Pocket Powerbox Advance, plus 2 x M4x30mm Allen bolts, 4 x M4 spacers and 2 x M4 nuts to mount the assembly onto your dovetail.
I have a wide Losmandy-style dovetail on my C11. Will these brackets fit?
The brackets mount onto a dovetail with the included M4x30mm bolts, spacers and nuts. Check that your dovetail bar has a hole or slot that takes an M4 bolt.
What material are the Pocket Powerbox Advance brackets made of?
The brackets are made from durable, lightweight black anodized aluminum. This provides a strong, rigid connection without adding significant weight to your imaging setup.
