  • Software Bisque Paramount MYT/MX+ Polemaster Adaptor

    Weighing 3 lbs, the Software Bisque Paramount MYT/MX+ Polemaster Adaptor provides a rigid, dedicated mounting point for your QHYCCD PoleMaster camera. Its 4.5 × 12 × 4 inch dimensions are engineered for a seamless fit on Paramount MYT and MX+ mounts, enabling you to leverage the speed and precision of the PoleMaster for rapid, accurate polar alignment in the field or in a permanent observatory.

    Seamless PoleMaster Integration for Your 3 lb Paramount Adapter

    This 3 lb adapter is the essential mechanical link between your high-end Software Bisque mount and the popular QHYCCD PoleMaster electronic polar scope. It provides a secure, non-flexing attachment point that ensures the PoleMaster's alignment axis is perfectly parallel to your mount's Right Ascension axis. This rigidity is critical for achieving the high-precision polar alignment required for unguided imaging and accurate GoTo performance.

    Compatibility Check: For Paramount MYT and Rectangular-Cover MX+ Mounts

    This adapter is specifically designed for the Paramount MYT and Paramount MX+ models. A key identifier for a compatible MX+ mount is the rectangular shape of its declination axis hole cover. If you own an older Paramount MX mount that has a circular declination axis hole cover, this adapter will not fit. For that specific model, a different adapter is required.

  • What is the purpose of the Paramount MYT/MX+ Polemaster Adaptor?

    This adapter creates a secure mounting point to attach the QHYCCD PoleMaster electronic polar scope to a Software Bisque Paramount MYT or Paramount MX+ mount. It allows you to use the PoleMaster's camera-based system to achieve a much faster and more precise polar alignment than is possible with a traditional polar scope.

    Will this adapter fit my older Paramount MX mount?

    No, this adapter is not compatible with all Paramount MX mounts. It fits the Paramount MX+ and MYT. The key difference is the declination axis hole cover. This adapter is for mounts with a rectangular cover. If your older Paramount MX has a circular cover, you will need a different adapter, such as the one available from CyclopsOptics.

    I'm setting up my Paramount MX+ at a dark sky site. How does this adapter help?

    For portable setups, this adapter is a significant time-saver. Instead of spending valuable dark-sky time performing a precise drift alignment or kneeling on the ground to use a conventional polar scope, you can attach the PoleMaster and achieve an observatory-grade alignment in minutes. This gets you imaging faster and ensures your tracking is as accurate as possible for the entire session.

    My Paramount MYT is in a permanent observatory. Is there still a benefit to using this adapter?

    Absolutely. Even in a permanent setup, pier settling or accidental bumps can shift your mount's polar alignment over time. The Paramount MYT/MX+ Polemaster Adaptor allows you to quickly verify and correct your alignment without having to disrupt your imaging train or repeat a complex alignment routine. It's an efficient tool for periodic maintenance of your observatory's core alignment.

    Is any software included with the Paramount MYT/MX+ Polemaster Adaptor?

    No, this is a purely mechanical adapter. The necessary software is included with the QHYCCD PoleMaster camera itself, which must be purchased separately. This adapter simply provides the physical connection between the camera and the mount.

    Is this adapter difficult to install on a Paramount MYT?

    Installation is straightforward. The adapter is designed to bolt directly to pre-existing points on the Paramount MYT and MX+ mounts, providing a secure fit without any modification to the mount itself. The process typically involves removing the declination axis cover and attaching the adapter with the appropriate hardware.
