Pair of Dovetail Brackets for UPBv2
This Pair of Dovetail Brackets for the Ultimate Powerbox v2 (UPBv2) provides a simple and robust solution for attaching your Pegasus Astro power hub directly to your telescope's dovetail plate. Machined from black anodized aluminum, these brackets are designed to fit both the wider Losmandy 3-inch standard and the more common Vixen-style plates, ensuring broad compatibility with most mounts and telescope configurations.
Secure, Dual-Standard Mounting for Losmandy & Vixen Plates
By attaching your Ultimate Powerbox v2 directly to your optical tube assembly, you create an integrated imaging platform where the power source moves with the telescope. This dramatically simplifies cable management and virtually eliminates the risk of cables snagging or pulling as the mount tracks across the sky. The brackets ensure the UPBv2 remains securely in place, protecting both the power hub and your other equipment from accidental drops or movement during an imaging session.

What plates are compatible with these UPBv2 brackets?
These brackets are designed for universal compatibility with the two main dovetail standards in amateur astronomy. They will fit both Losmandy-style (3-inch) and Vixen-style dovetail plates.
Will these brackets fit the original Ultimate Powerbox or the Pocket Powerbox?
No, these brackets are specifically designed for the screw pattern and chassis of the Pegasus Astro Ultimate Powerbox v2 (UPBv2). They are not compatible with other Powerbox models.
How do these UPBv2 brackets help with cable management on my 8" SCT setup?
By mounting your UPBv2 directly to your 8" SCT's dovetail, all your power connections (camera, mount, dew heaters) ride along with the telescope. This means you only need to manage a single power cable running up to the mount, preventing a "cable spaghetti" situation and reducing the risk of snags as your telescope slews to different targets like the Orion Nebula (M42).
Are mounting screws included with the brackets?
Mounting hardware is not specified as included. The brackets are designed to be attached to the Ultimate Powerbox v2 using the existing screws on the device's chassis.
Can I mount my UPBv2 to the top or bottom of my dovetail plate?
Yes. These brackets allow you to place the Ultimate Powerbox v2 on either side of the dovetail plate, giving you flexibility based on your specific telescope configuration, balance requirements, and cable routing preferences.
What are the Pair of Dovetail Brackets for UPBv2 made of?
The brackets are machined from high-quality black anodized aluminum for durability and a lightweight profile that adds minimal weight to your imaging setup.
