This plate creates a rigid, streamlined connection, allowing you to integrate your autoguiding or finder scope into the heart of your EAGLE-powered imaging system without requiring a separate mounting point on your telescope tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eECCO Integration: Mount Guide Rings Directly to Your Controller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThis support plate is engineered specifically to attach to the top of the PrimaLuceLab ECCO, transforming the controller itself into a secure base for your guide scope. By providing a direct interface for the PLUS guide rings, it eliminates the need for additional clamps or dovetail bars, resulting in a more compact and stable setup. This is an ideal solution for small apochromatic refractors and portable imaging rigs where space is at a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eDual-Role Support: For Autoguiding or Visual Finding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eBy installing this plate, you can mount the PrimaLuceLab \"60mm CompactGuide scope with PLUS 80mm guide rings\" and use it with an autoguide camera for precise tracking.

This minimizes the risk of cable snags during slewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eI have a small refractor with an EAGLE and ECCO2.

On a compact refractor, mounting space is often limited. This plate allows you to leverage the ECCO2 as a mounting platform, keeping your entire imaging package—EAGLE, ECCO2, and guide scope—integrated into one tight, rigid assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eCan I use this support plate to turn my guide scope into a visual finder on my Celestron SCT with an ECCO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. Once you install the PrimaLuceLab CompactGuide scope using this plate and the PLUS rings, you can simply insert a standard 1.25\" eyepiece into the guide scope's focuser.
