User questions & answers

Answer:	Yes they will fit 2009 Road King, however you will probably be disappointed in the cheap chrome finish.

Answer:	Bill I have a victory bike they work on mine. I would say they work on metric bikes too
Question:	Is this mount identical to the atlas pro? can you move the head around by hand and the computer keeps up with where it is like the atlas
Answer:	Well my friend they are short. 3 3/8" tall. You may have to grind some clearance on your master cylinder side of the .675 flare at the post base.
Question:	Hi, Can this mount work on a sky-watcher 12 inch collapsible
Answer:	Honestly they don't hardly work on cruisers that well unless you have ape hangers they only sit about two inches above your hand grips. I tried them on the V-Star and had to give them away cuz I couldn't see past my forearm

About us

David Shen, the founder of Sky-Watcher, started pursuing his interest in optics design and star observing when he was 26, working as a polishing technician at a research institute in Taiwan.

It was a lovely summer night after work that the bright stars urged David to observe them with a telescope. After placing the telescope on top of the hood of his car, the view of the magnificent rings from the Saturn planet greatly moved David. That night was deeply engraved in David's memory since and constantly inspires him to live his dream:

Building High-quality and Affordable Telescopes for Everyone.

“In the past, telescopes are only available to few. But I hope that I could help more people gaze further.” David summarizes his dream. This dream gradually took shape when David established Synta factory for building optics in the 1990s. In 1999, Synta launched the "Sky-Watcher" brand.

“Innovate continuously, and always challenge your limits.” —as his simple motto suggests, David’s passion and love for astronomy have turned into a great source of creativity and pursuit of quality.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this to mount a orion st80 with orions 90mm tube rings
Answer:	Definitely, I boiled a large stock pot of water to to wash with. Kept my Arctic tent toasty in Laramie Wyoming Mountains this spring
Question:	Is this compatible with the Celestron 8 SE
Answer:	No ash grill
Question:	will i be able to mount this on a celestron AVX
Answer:	Yes! The threads are also soft and strip easily. The mirror also does not tighten firmly to the "arm" causing it to "flop" over. Hiwever, I fixed mine by using Thread Lock Red for the threads into the post and Versa Chem Super Clear Silicon Gasket Maker to stop the mirrors from flopping over. They do look good once installed.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much does the mount and the tripod each weigh
Answer:	I am not familiar with Bristol bay gloves but I do not "feel" seams in these gloves. The Glacier gloves keep my hands warm, are water proof and fit nice and tight. I use them for ice fishing and am able to use my small ice fishing rods and reels with no problem. I hope this helps!
Question:	What is the diameter of the base? That is, what diameter should a pier need to be in order to fit the mount
Answer:	I have owned these for a while and use them incessantly during winter months...the grip is very good, I would give it an 8 out of 10. The durability really depends on what you are doing with them...I would give them a 6 out of 10.
Question:	Does this supports celestron 14 inch ota
Answer:	Yes. Just remember that it is simple carbon steel & not cast iron. So it heats up quickly but also cools down quickly. And it doesn't hold a lot of fuel. So you have to keep adding fuel to keep it running. Whereas a large cast iron wood stove will stay warm for many hours after it has finished burning.
Question:	Given there is only 1 aux port, what is the recommended method for connecting, star sense, guide scope and sky portal
Answer:	3 inch

User questions & answers

Question:	What is dovetail rail that attaches to the mount....missing rail mount for the orion 9826 starmax equatorial maksutov-cassegrain telescope
Answer:	You should probably speak with o e of the administrators at your church, am sure you can keep your receipts.
Question:	Can this carry up a 16 lbs orion cassegrain tube
Answer:	Great question......Mine bent and broke. Too windy where I vend and it was the second one I bought. It was a flimsy frame so after 2 losses, I went to a different tent and I love my new one. I have used it at the same windy place and have had no problems at all.
Question:	Will this mount be able to handle the weight of the orion xt4.5 dobsonian telescope
Answer:	I believe you would be very happy with the warmth of these gloves due to the fact that your hands remain dry no matter how wet or cold the conditions. I have used these gloves for pulling crab traps and fishing during extremely cold conditions with great success. The fleese lining is very warm and soft.
Question:	Can an EQ-1 motor be attached to this successfully
Answer:	You could scratch down some notes with these gloves. But probably wouldnt be able to write neatly, as accurately or extensively. Your hands will be warm and dry though

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm assuming you can, but better to ask...can you mount a dslr to this as well as telescopes
Answer:	Not sure if your car has one fixed point and one roller or two rollers? The riveted ones are a little more tricky since you have to peen them over. X-tras are much better to have than needing one halfway through the project.
Question:	Can this mount track the sun
Answer:	The bottom edge is flared at 11/32" and the top of roller assembly is 1/4".
Question:	Does this come with a Dslr camera mount
Answer:	2 wheels per housing. Exactly as pictured.
Question:	Has anyone used this mount successfully for long exposure astrophotography
Answer:	The wheel is 3/32" thick and the axle is approximately 11/32" wide
