  • Pegasus Astro 2x 25mm Risers for PEG-DOV335

    This pair of 25mm risers provides the necessary elevation for optical tubes mounted on the Pegasus Astro 335mm (PEG-DOV335) universal dovetail plate. Each of the two included blocks adds a solid 25mm of height, creating critical clearance for imaging equipment and aiding in balancing heavier loads.

    25mm Elevation for Clearance and Balance

    The primary function of these 25mm risers is to solve common mechanical clearance problems. When using a large camera, filter wheel, or a long refractor, you can often run into collisions with the mount itself, especially near the meridian. By elevating the entire telescope tube by 25mm, these risers create the space needed for your equipment to move freely throughout the night.

    This added height can also be a significant advantage when balancing a complex imaging train. Elevating the center of gravity can sometimes make fine-tuning declination balance easier, especially with top-heavy or bottom-heavy accessory configurations.

    Solid, Anodized Aluminum Construction

    Machined from a single piece of high-quality aluminum, these risers are built for stability. They are not hollow or cast, ensuring a rigid, flex-free connection between your dovetail plate and your telescope rings. The black anodized finish matches the Pegasus Astro aesthetic and protects the aluminum from corrosion and wear.

    • Precision Fit: Engineered to integrate perfectly with the hole pattern on the Pegasus Astro PEG-DOV335 dovetail plate for a secure, no-slip fit.
    • Lightweight Design: Despite their solid construction, the risers add minimal weight to your setup, preserving your mount's payload capacity for imaging gear.
    • Simple Installation: The risers attach with standard bolts, making it a quick and straightforward modification to your existing setup.

  • When do I need the 25mm risers for my PEG-DOV335 plate?

    You need these risers if your camera, filter wheel, or focuser collides with your mount during slewing, particularly near the meridian. They are also useful for raising shorter optical tubes, like refractors, to a more comfortable height for visual observation with a diagonal.

    Can I stack these 25mm risers for 50mm of height?

    While physically possible, stacking risers is generally not recommended as it can introduce flexure and instability into the optical train. For elevations greater than 25mm, using larger-diameter tube rings is often a more mechanically sound solution.

    Are mounting screws included with the 2x 25mm risers?

    Please check the "In the Box" tab for a complete list of included hardware. Typically, you will use the screws that came with your telescope tube rings, but you may need longer screws depending on the thickness of your rings' mounting base.

    Are these 25mm risers compatible with dovetail plates other than the PEG-DOV335?

    These risers are specifically designed for the hole pattern and width of the Pegasus Astro 335mm dovetail plate (PEG-DOV335). While they might align with other plates by chance, a perfect and secure fit is only guaranteed with the intended product.

    How do the 25mm risers affect balancing my telescope?

    By raising the telescope 25mm, you are raising its center of gravity. This will require you to re-balance your setup. Some users find that a slightly higher center of gravity can make achieving precise balance in both axes easier, especially with accessories mounted on top of the tube.

    Will adding the Pegasus 25mm risers cause any flexure in my imaging setup?

    No. The risers are machined from solid aluminum to be extremely rigid. When correctly installed and tightened on the PEG-DOV335 plate, they will not introduce any noticeable flexure into the system.
