About this product
Secure your optical tube assembly with rock-solid stability and the distinctive look of Sky-Watcher engineering. Machined from high-grade aluminium, this 180 mm D-style dovetail plate delivers flex-free mounting for both visual observing and demanding astrophotography setups. Its wide Losmandy profile and resilient anodised finish ensure your gear stays balanced, protected, and firmly locked in place through every observing session.
D-Style Profile
Broad Losmandy standard
Anodised Finish
Hard-wearing dew resistance
Universal Drilling
Fits varied ring patterns
Bevelled Edges
Precise, non-slip clamping
Rock-Solid Support for Any Setup
At 180 mm (7 inches) in length, this mounting plate provides substantial support for mid-sized reflectors, refractors, and imaging equipment without introducing unnecessary bulk. Precision-machined from lightweight yet rigid aluminium, it prevents unwanted flexure during long exposures while keeping payload weight low to reduce strain on your mount’s drive system.
Signature Protection Against the Elements
Finished in Sky-Watcher’s signature green anodising, the surface is treated to withstand heavy outdoor use night after night. This resilient coating provides superior protection against scratches, oxidation, and heavy dew, preventing corrosion and preserving the structural integrity of your clamping surfaces over years of field deployment.
Broad Saddle Compatibility Features precision-machined bevelled edges designed to mate seamlessly with Losmandy-style D saddles on mounts including the Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro, Celestron CGX and CGEM series, and compatible iOptron CEM platforms.
Key Features
Universal Hole Pattern – Features multiple pre-drilled and tapped holes to seamlessly fit Sky-Watcher tube rings, third-party mounting rings, and custom astrophotography accessories.
Losmandy D-Style Profile – Built to the wider D-style standard for increased surface contact, torsional rigidity, and secure clamping.
Durable Green Anodising – Tough protective surface layer shields the bare metal from oxidation, dew damage, and repeated clamp wear.
Precision Bevelled Edges – Accurate machining ensures tight, positive engagement inside saddle plates to eliminate slip and vibration.
Rigid Aluminium Build – Combines robust mechanical strength with a lightweight design to keep mount payloads manageable and balanced.
