This adapter allows you to attach the powerbox directly to the mount's saddle, creating a compact and cable-friendly imaging setup. By co-rotating the power and data hub with your telescope, it effectively prevents cable snags and drag during long exposures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n          \u003ch3\u003eIntegrated Power and Data for Sky-Watcher NEQ6 \u0026amp; EQ6-R Mounts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n          \u003cp\u003eThis puck is the key to physically integrating the Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox with your Sky-Watcher NEQ6, EQ6-R, or compatible Orion Atlas mount. It replaces the need for straps or other temporary solutions with a robust, direct mechanical connection. The result is a clean setup where all power and data ports move with the telescope, dramatically simplifying cable management and reducing the risk of a ruined exposure from a pulled cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWhat is the purpose of the Saddle Powerbox Puck for NEQ6\/EQ6-R?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eIts sole function is to provide a secure, stable attachment point for the Pegasus Astro Saddle Powerbox directly onto the saddle plate of a Sky-Watcher NEQ6, EQ6-R, or a compatible Orion mount.

By attaching your Saddle Powerbox with this puck, all your power and USB cables move with the mount. This prevents cables from getting caught on the tripod or tangling as the mount tracks, which could otherwise ruin your guiding and your entire imaging session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eIs installation of the Saddle Powerbox Puck difficult?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward.

The Saddle Powerbox itself can be mounted in other ways or to other mounts using different adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWill using the Saddle Powerbox Puck on my EQ6-R help when imaging near the celestial pole, like Polaris?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eYes. Imaging near the pole often involves long, slow movements where cable drag can subtly affect tracking accuracy.
