  • Software Bisque Paramount MYT DEX Axis to Versa-Plate Spacer

    The Software Bisque Paramount MYT DEX Axis to Versa-Plate Spacer is a 2 lb, two-piece accessory that adds a critical 2 inches of clearance for through-the-mount cabling. Measuring 12 × 8 × 2 inches, this spacer installs directly between the Paramount MYT's declination axis and the Versa-Plate to prevent cable snags and improve routing for complex imaging setups.

    A 2-inch Spacer for Unrestricted Cable Management

    When running multiple USB, power, and data cables through a Paramount MYT, interference and snags can occur, especially when the Versa-Plate is mounted in its wide orientation. This 2-inch spacer elevates the entire optical tube assembly, creating a generous channel that ensures cables can move freely without binding during slews across the sky.

    Even in the standard orientation, the added clearance simplifies cable management for complex instrument packages, preventing strain on delicate ports and connectors. The two-piece design ensures a secure, rigid fit, maintaining the robust connection between the mount and your optical tube assembly.

  • When is the Paramount MYT Versa-Plate Spacer necessary?

    This spacer is most critical when you are using the Versa-Plate in its wide orientation, as this configuration leaves minimal room for through-the-mount cabling. The spacer provides the 2 inches of clearance needed to prevent cable strain, binding, and snags during operation.

    Will the Paramount MYT Spacer help if I'm using a large camera and filter wheel?

    Yes. A complex imaging train with multiple cables for a camera, filter wheel, electronic focuser, and guider benefits significantly from the added 2 inches of clearance. Even in the standard plate orientation, this spacer helps organize the cable bundle and prevents it from catching on the mount as it tracks.

    How much height does the Paramount MYT Spacer add to the setup?

    The spacer adds exactly 2 inches of height between the top of the declination axis and the bottom of the Versa-Plate.

    Is the installation of the Paramount MYT Spacer complicated?

    Installation is straightforward. The two-piece spacer is designed to fit directly between the declination axis and the Versa-Plate, typically using the existing mounting hardware. Please refer to your Paramount User Guide for complete details on attaching the Versa-Plate.

    I'm worried about flexure. Does adding the 2 lb spacer affect the Paramount MYT's stability?

    The spacer is engineered by Software Bisque to be a rigid, precision-machined component. While it adds 2 lbs to the total payload, it is designed to maintain the stability and rigidity of the connection between the mount and the Versa-Plate, preventing flexure.

    Can I use this spacer with any other Software Bisque mount besides the Paramount MYT?

    No, this spacer is specifically designed for the mechanical interface of the Paramount MYT mount. It is not compatible with other models like the Paramount ME II or MX+.
