This simple adapter is the key to creating a clean, streamlined imaging rig by co-locating your power and data hub with your optical tube. It eliminates loose, dangling cables from your camera, focuser, and guide scope, which are a primary source of tracking errors and equipment snags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSecure, Integrated Power for ZWO AM3 \u0026amp; AM5 Mounts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for a precise fit, the Saddle Powerbox Puck allows you to mount the Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox securely onto the side of the ZWO AM3 or AM5 saddle plate.
