What is the primary purpose of the Losmandy Dovetail Bracket Kit (Long) for WandererCover?
The primary purpose of this bracket is to securely mount a WandererCover V4 Pro-EC or Wanderer Eclipse automated dust cover onto a large telescope, such as a Celestron RASA or EdgeHD, that uses a Losmandy-style dovetail plate.
Will the Losmandy Bracket Kit (Long) fit my Celestron RASA 11 with an extended dew shield?
Yes, absolutely. The Long kit is the specific model designed for this scenario. Its telescopic design provides the necessary clearance to work perfectly with Celestron RASA and EdgeHD telescopes that have an extended dew shield installed.
I have a Celestron 14" EdgeHD but I don't use a dew shield. Do I need the Long bracket kit?
No. For a Celestron EdgeHD or RASA telescope without an extended dew shield, you should use the Losmandy Dovetail Bracket Kit (Short). The Long kit would provide unnecessary length and might interfere with your setup's balance.
What material is the WandererCover Losmandy Bracket Kit made from?
The bracket is machined from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. This material was chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring a rigid and durable connection without adding excess weight to your telescope.
Is the Losmandy Dovetail Bracket Kit (Long) heavy?
No, it is designed to be lightweight. By using aerospace-grade aluminum, the bracket provides the necessary support for the WandererCover while minimizing its impact on your telescope's overall balance.
Are mounting screws included with the Losmandy Dovetail Bracket Kit (Long)?
Yes, the kit includes the standard screws needed to secure the bracket to the threaded mounting holes on the WandererCover V4 Pro-EC and Wanderer Eclipse models.
