Payload Mounting Plate (Versa-Plate)
The Paramount MX Versa-Plate provides a stable mounting platform to carry a variety of astronomical
equipment using a dovetail, ‘scope cradle, or mounting rings. The Instrument Panel (page 43) mounted
to the bottom rear of the Versa-Plate conveniently places power ports, a two port USB 2.0 hub and
other ports and even custom through the mount cables near the camera-end of the telescope, right
where they’re needed.
