Black anodized aluminum mounting adapter with 15-degree angled Vixen dovetail profile

Tele Vue

Tele Vue Mounting Adapter 15-degree Vixen Dovetail

SKU CH-TH0V-CK6E5

Attaches telescopes to Vixen dovetail mounts with a 15-degree inclined angle for ergonomic viewing and includes hardware for quick installation

  • 15-degree angle improves viewing comfort and reduces strain
  • Secure Vixen dovetail connection minimizes vibrations for steadier views
  • Extra mounting holes fit Tele Vue cradles and Coronado scopes
  • Black anodized aluminum construction provides durable lightweight performance
  • Included hardware and Allen key enable quick tool-assisted setup

Purpose and user

This mounting adapter connects a telescope to a Vixen dovetail mount. It is built for astronomers who want a secure attachment point for Tele Vue telescopes, Coronado PST or SolarMax scopes without modifying their existing mount rings.

Sustained stability

The black anodized aluminum construction resists flex during long observation sessions. The adapter stays fixed to the telescope ring, so repeated mount changes do not introduce play or misalignment over time.

Upgrade path and limits

It replaces improvised plates or brand-specific brackets that only fit one mount type. The extra holes for Tele Vue cradles add cross-brand flexibility, but the fixed 15-degree angle cannot be adjusted for different eyepiece heights.

Questions about this item

Does the 15-degree inclined angle change balance or vibration when the telescope is left tracking overnight?

The 15-degree angle is designed for ergonomic viewing comfort and does not introduce additional vibration; the adapter locks securely to the Vixen dovetail to maintain stability during long sessions.

What mounting hardware must I already have on my telescope for this adapter to attach?

Your telescope needs a Tele Vue mount cradle or compatible ring with the extra hole pattern that matches the adapter's pre-drilled spacing.

Will this adapter stay fitted when I swap the scope between a Tele Vue mount and a Vixen Porta mount?

Yes, the adapter is built to remain on the telescope's mount ring, allowing quick changes between Tele Vue and Vixen equatorial or Porta mounts without removal.
