  • Lunt V-Series Dovetail Bar - 12"

    The Lunt V-Series Dovetail Bar provides a full 12 inches of mounting length, establishing a secure, factory-spec connection between your Lunt solar telescope and any Vixen-style mount.

    The 12-Inch Standard for Lunt Solar Telescopes

    This 12-inch dovetail bar is the factory-standard component for Lunt's solar telescopes, ensuring a perfect, rigid fit with Vixen-style mount saddles. Crafted from durable, black anodized aluminum, it resists wear and provides a stable, flex-free platform for your optical tube.

    • Vixen-Style Profile: Ensures drop-in compatibility with the industry-standard Vixen saddle, which is used across the Lunt Solar Systems telescope lineup.
    • Black Anodized Aluminum: Provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that matches Lunt telescope aesthetics while minimizing unwanted reflections.

  • How do I know if the Lunt 12" V-Series Dovetail Bar will fit my mount?

    This bar is designed with a standard Vixen-style profile. It will fit any mount that accepts "V-style" or "Vixen-style" dovetails, which is a common standard for many commercially available mounts.

    What is the Lunt 12" V-Series Dovetail Bar made of?

    It is constructed from a single piece of black anodized aluminum for durability, rigidity, and high corrosion resistance.

    Is the Lunt 12" V-Series Dovetail Bar the correct one for my Lunt telescope?

    Yes, Lunt Solar Systems uses the Vixen-style dovetail as the standard for all their solar telescopes. This 12" bar provides ample length for balancing most of their optical tube assemblies.

    I have a Lunt LS100THa telescope; is the 12" V-Series Dovetail Bar a good choice?

    Yes, the 12-inch length is an excellent choice for a telescope like the Lunt LS100THa. It provides sufficient travel to properly balance the telescope and any attached accessories, such as a camera or finder scope, on your Vixen-style mount.

    Can I use the Lunt 12" V-Series Dovetail Bar to mount a non-Lunt telescope on my Vixen mount?

    Absolutely. While it is the standard for Lunt telescopes, its Vixen-style profile makes it a universal solution for attaching any telescope with compatible tube rings to a Vixen-compatible mount.

    Why choose a 12" dovetail bar over a shorter one?

    A longer 12" bar provides more surface area for your tube rings and offers a greater fore-and-aft adjustment range. This is critical for achieving perfect balance, especially when you add or remove accessories of different weights like cameras, finders, or heavy eyepieces.
