  • Losmandy Attachment Plate 450mm Long

    The AG16 Losmandy Attachment Plate provides a rigid, 450mm long mounting platform for securely attaching large aperture telescopes to Losmandy-style mounts. Machined from a single block of aero-grade aluminum, it eliminates flexure, ensuring your optical tube remains perfectly aligned with the mount for stable imaging and tracking.

    450mm Solid Aluminum Mounting Platform

    This dovetail plate is engineered as a solid, single-piece component, not an extrusion. By machining the plate from a solid billet of aero-grade aluminum, Orion Optics UK ensures maximum structural integrity. This prevents the micro-flexure that can plague lesser plates, which is critical when supporting the weight of a large telescope and imaging train.

    Versatile Mounting for Large Aperture Telescopes

    With a length of 450mm, this plate is designed to support large instruments. As a rule of thumb, the dovetail length should approximate the telescope's aperture, making this an ideal match for telescopes around 450mm (18 inches). It directly fits Losmandy and Paramount mount saddles and can also be attached to CNC tube rings to create a mounting point for guide scopes or other accessories.

  • What is the main purpose of the Losmandy AG16 450mm attachment plate?

    Its primary function is to securely mount Orion Optics UK CT or AG telescopes onto a Losmandy "D-style" or Paramount equatorial mount saddle. It's machined from solid aluminum to provide a rigid, flex-free connection essential for astrophotography.

    How do I know if the 450mm length is right for my telescope?

    As a general guideline, the dovetail plate's length should be similar to your telescope's aperture. This 450mm plate is therefore recommended for instruments with an aperture around 450mm (approximately 18 inches) to ensure stable support across the tube rings.

    Is the AG16 450mm plate compatible with Vixen-style mounts like the Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro?

    Not directly. This is a wide "D-style" Losmandy plate, while the EQ6-R Pro and similar mounts often use a narrower "V-style" saddle (though many now feature dual saddles). To use this plate with a Vixen-only saddle, you would need a separate V-to-D adapter.

    Can I use this Losmandy 450mm plate to mount a guide scope on my main telescope?

    Yes. If your main telescope is held in a set of CNC tube rings, this plate can be attached across the top of the rings. This creates a long, stable platform for mounting a separate guide scope, finder scope, or other imaging accessories.

    What is the AG16 plate made of?

    It is machined from a single, solid piece of aero-grade aluminum. This method of construction is superior to extruded aluminum as it ensures maximum rigidity and prevents any bending or twisting under heavy loads.

    Do I need this plate for an Orion Optics UK ODK telescope?

    No. Orion Optics UK ODK (Optimised Dall-Kirkham) telescopes are already equipped with the correct length and style of dovetail plate from the factory. This plate is intended for their CT (Classical Cassegrain) and AG (Astrograph) Newtonian telescope lines.
