What kind of accessories can I mount on the RASA 6 Dovetail Bar?

The Celestron Dovetail Accessory Bar is designed for any accessory that uses a standard CG-5 or Vixen-style dovetail plate. This most commonly includes autoguiding systems (like the Celestron StarSense Autoguider or a guide scope with a guide camera), finderscopes, or piggyback camera mounts.

Is the RASA 6 Dovetail Accessory Bar compatible with Losmandy-D style plates?

No, this bar is designed exclusively for the narrower CG-5/Vixen dovetail standard. Accessories with the wider Losmandy-D style plate will not fit in this saddle.

How does the 11.2 oz weight of this RASA 6 bar affect my setup?

The 11.2 oz weight is minimal and typically easy to compensate for by slightly adjusting your main counterweights. The primary consideration is the weight of the accessories you add, which will require you to re-balance your entire imaging system in both axes before use.

Can I use this Dovetail Accessory Bar on a different telescope, like an EdgeHD 8"?

This bar is specifically designed for the hole spacing and curvature of the Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) 6. While it may be possible to adapt it to other telescopes, it is not a universal fit and is not guaranteed to mount correctly on other optical tubes.

I want to add a 50mm guide scope to my RASA 6. Is this bar the right choice?

Yes, absolutely. A typical 50mm guide scope and guide camera combination is a perfect match for the RASA 6 Dovetail Accessory Bar. The 14.2" length gives you flexibility in placing the guide scope to achieve optimal balance.

Does the Celestron RASA 6 Dovetail bar include mounting screws?

Yes, the bar comes with all the necessary hardware to mount it directly to the existing threaded holes on the top of your RASA 6 optical tube.
