  • Baader Stronghold Additional set of EQ-clamp Brackets

    This additional set of EQ-clamp brackets is designed specifically for the underside of the Baader Stronghold Tangent Assembly. By installing these Vixen-style clamps, you can add a second, parallel mounting point to your Stronghold, enabling dual-instrument setups or providing alternative balancing and accessory mounting options. The kit includes two brackets and the necessary screws for direct, secure attachment.

    Expand Your Stronghold's Mounting with Vixen-Style EQ-Clamps

    The Baader Stronghold is a versatile tangent assembly, and these additional EQ-clamps unlock its full potential for complex imaging rigs. By attaching this Vixen-style clamp set to the bottom of your Stronghold, you create a secure, secondary platform ideal for mounting a guidescope directly parallel to your main imaging telescope or for running two smaller instruments side-by-side. The brackets are made to integrate seamlessly with the Stronghold, and all required mounting screws are included for a straightforward installation.

  • What is the purpose of the Baader Stronghold Additional EQ-clamp Brackets?

    This bracket set allows you to add a second, Vixen-style dovetail clamp to the underside of your existing Baader Stronghold Tangent Assembly. This is used to mount a second telescope, a guidescope, or other accessories parallel to your primary instrument.

    Are these brackets compatible with dovetail bars other than Vixen-style?

    No, these brackets are specifically designed to accept Vixen-style (V-style) dovetail bars. They are not compatible with wider Losmandy-style (D-style) plates.

    Where do these Baader Stronghold EQ-clamp Brackets install on the Stronghold assembly?

    The brackets are designed to be mounted on the underside of the Baader Stronghold body, directly opposite the primary saddle. All necessary screws are included for installation.

    Can I use this bracket set to mount a guidescope to my Baader Stronghold?

    Yes, this is a primary use case. You can mount your main telescope in the top clamp of the Stronghold and use this additional bracket set to attach your guidescope (on its Vixen dovetail bar) to the underside for a compact and rigid guiding setup.

    I have a heavy camera on my telescope. Can these Baader Stronghold brackets help with balancing?

    Yes. By adding a mounting point on the underside, you can attach a Vixen bar with counterweights to achieve better balance on your equatorial mount. This is especially useful when your primary instrument is significantly front-heavy or back-heavy.

    Does the Baader Stronghold Additional EQ-clamp set include mounting hardware?

    Yes, the set includes the required screws for attaching the two bracket pieces securely to the main body of the Baader Stronghold Tangent Assembly.
