Description A saddle plate is not the most exciting astronomical accessory in the world, but it is one of the most important when it comes to the stability and safety of your telescope system. Just like a saddle is usually the only piece of equipment between you and a horse, a telescope saddle plate is often times the only piece of hardware used to attach your optical tube assembly to its mount. Tailor-made to fit Explore Scientific scopes, our Losmandy-style saddle plate has a length of 7.5 inches and will fit a variety of popular mounts. Black anodized for longevity and beauty, these plates are made of rigid aluminum that manages to be both strong and lightweight.
