    Description

    VERSION 2 is here! Now, the thumb screws are farther apart, have rounded tips for less marring and the plates are slightly more narrow than before, but it still allows you to "tip" your telescope in.
    IDEA Engineering's heavy duty Vixen style dovetail clamp threads onto any existing Vixen Super Polaris mount. Not for older standard Polaris mount (see image)
    The Super Polaris mount was a great mount with precision gearing, but it lacked the convenient modern dovetail arrangement that all modern mounts have. Now you can convert this otherwise fantastic mount in seconds.
    It has threads for two 6mm thumb screws, which came standard with the Super Polaris. If your mount has had the holes drilled out or has replaced by 1/4-20 thumbs screws, like many out there, then you simply need to get a pair of 6mm bolts. We have our own 6mm thumbscrews available at IDEAengineering.us
    The saddle plate is angled on one side and has extra width to make it easy to attach and detach your telescope simply by tilting. The hand knobs push the plate into this angled side for a secure fit. The two knobs are to hold the telescope securely and to prevent the telescope from coming lose should you accidentally grab the wrong knob during the night.
