What Wanderer Astro devices are compatible with this short Losmandy bracket kit?
This bracket is specifically designed for the WandererBox V3, WandererCover V4 Pro-EC, and Wanderer Eclipse. The kit includes the necessary standard screws to attach the bracket directly to these units.
I have a WandererBox V3 on my Celestron SCT with a Losmandy plate. How does this bracket help my setup?
This bracket allows you to mount the WandererBox V3 directly onto your SCT's Losmandy plate. This keeps the control box securely attached to the optical tube assembly, which is critical for minimizing cable drag from your camera and focuser as the telescope slews across the sky.
Why is the Wanderer Astro bracket made from aerospace-grade aluminum?
Using aerospace-grade aluminum provides a high strength-to-weight ratio. It ensures the bracket is extremely rigid to prevent any flexure or vibration, keeping your sensitive electronics secure without adding unnecessary weight to your telescope.
Does the Wanderer Astro bracket work with Vixen-style dovetail bars?
No, this bracket is specifically designed for the wider Losmandy D-style dovetail plate standard. It is not compatible and will not fit in a narrower Vixen V-style saddle or on a Vixen-style bar.
I use a WandererCover V4 on my refractor for imaging the North America Nebula (NGC 7000). Will this bracket work?
Only if it is the WandererCover V4 Pro-EC and your refractor carries a Losmandy-style dovetail plate. Wanderer Astro supports this kit with the WandererBox V3, WandererCover V4 Pro-EC and Wanderer Eclipse only; the WandererCover V4-EC and V4-EC IR install with cable ties.
Are mounting screws included with the Wanderer Astro bracket kit?
Yes, the kit includes the standard screws required to attach the bracket directly to the threaded holes on a compatible WandererBox, WandererCover, or Wanderer Eclipse unit.
