  • Software Bisque Paramount ME Base Mounting Knob

    The Software Bisque Paramount ME Base Mounting Knob is an original equipment replacement part. This single knob is designed to precisely restore the original mounting function and security of your Paramount ME equatorial mount.

    OEM Replacement for the Paramount ME

    This is a genuine replacement part manufactured by Software Bisque, ensuring perfect compatibility and fit with your Paramount ME mount. It is intended to replace a knob that has been lost, damaged, or worn over time, restoring the mount's stability and your peace of mind.

    As one of the four knobs that attach the mount base to a pier, wedge or adapter plate, using the official OEM knob guarantees that the threads and materials match the original factory specifications. This prevents potential damage to your mount and ensures a rigid, reliable connection for imaging or observation.

  • Is this an official Software Bisque part for the Paramount ME?

    Yes, this is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Base Mounting Knob produced by Software Bisque specifically for the Paramount ME mount. It is not a third-party accessory.

    What is this knob used for on the Paramount ME?

    The Paramount ME uses four of these knobs to attach the base of the mount to a Paramount permanent pier, a Paramount ME wedge-to-pier adapter plate, the Paramount ME Latitude Adjustment Wedge or a custom pier top. It is a critical component for establishing a stable and safe connection for your telescope system.

    Will this mounting knob fit a Paramount MX+ or other models?

    No, this knob is specifically designed for the Software Bisque Paramount ME mount. It is not compatible with other mounts in the Paramount line, such as the MX+, MYT, or Taurus models, which use different mounting hardware.

    How many Paramount ME Base Mounting Knobs are included?

    This product includes one (1) Paramount ME Base Mounting Knob. It is sold as a single unit to replace one lost or damaged knob.

    I'm permanently installing my Paramount ME on a pier; is this the knob I need to attach the head?

    Yes. The Paramount ME uses four of these knobs to attach its base to a Software Bisque permanent pier, a Paramount ME wedge-to-pier adapter plate, the Paramount ME Latitude Adjustment Wedge or a custom pier top.

    When transporting my Paramount ME for fieldwork, is this a part I should have a spare of?

    Having a spare is a good practice for mobile astrophotography. Like any small, critical hardware, the base mounting knob can be misplaced during setup or teardown in the dark. A spare can prevent a lost knob from ending an observing session prematurely.
