The Star Adventurer Dec. Bracket allows for larger telephoto lenses and small telescopes to be used. 

The Dec. Bracket features a slow motion geared hear for easy adjustment in the Dec. axis. These smooth adjustments are perfect when using longer focal length optics where large movements are not needed for centering the target.

The Dec. Bracket also allows for an addition ball head to be mounted using its open 3/8 threaded post (opposite the gear head).

You must have the Dec. Bracket to use the Star Adventurer counter weight kit. The counter weight rod threads into the Dec. Bracket.
