This simple but essential adapter eliminates the need for universal mounting rings or less stable solutions. It creates a rigid, unified system for pointing your instrument with confidence.\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\u003eDirect Focuser Mounting Interface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracket is engineered to connect directly to the pre-drilled threaded holes found on the side of Tele Vue's acclaimed focuser bodies.
