Its compact size and light weight makes it ideal for spur of the moment backyard observing or for traveling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod consists of a 2-section black anodized aluminum tripod with a manually-adjusted rising center post and a separate yoke \u0026amp; cradle type mount head. The top section of the tripod legs are foam covered for increased vibration damping and more comfortable carrying in cold weather. Each tripod leg has a rubber-tipped foot for use on wooden decks and other hard surfaces. The rubber foot retracts to reveal a metal ground spike for a more firm footing on grass or dirt. The tripod's adjustable height reversible center column has a 1\/4\"-20 stud on one end and a removable 3\/8\"-16 stud on the other, allowing use with standard photo tripod pan heads, as well as with the Tele-Pod mount head. By varying the length of the telescoping two-section legs and the height of the rising center post, the telescope height can be set anywhere from 28\" to 62\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeleVue scopes attach to the Tele-Pod head by means of two supplied studs that thread into the base of the telescope mounting ring. These studs project down through holes in the Tele-Pod cradle and are held securely in place with supplied wing nuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod head is totally manual in operation. You use its supplied camera tripod-type pan handle to move your scope from object to object. There are no slow motion controls, but the panning motion of the mount is so smooth that most observers will not need them. The yoke \u0026amp; cradle type mount head balances your TeleVue scope at its center of gravity, so that the scope will not swing unexpectedly when you let go of the pan handle (which can be set up for either right hand or left hand use). The altitude bearings are brass, while the azimuth bearing is aluminum and Teflon. Both altitude and azimuth motions have tension adjustments to set the friction to accommodate differing scope weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Tele-Pod head has two mounting holes in the underside of its built-in azimuth bearing, it can be removed from the tripod and used on any camera tripod legs having either a 1\/4\"-20 or 3\/8\"-16 screw. The Tele-Pod head therefore can also be bought separately (without tripod) if you already have a set of photo tripod legs available. In addition, the Tele-Pod head is pre-drilled so it can be fitted with an optional TeleVue Sky Tour computer-aiming system for easier location of deep sky objects. Because there is no accessory tray available for the Tele-Pod tripod, a useful accessory would be the Eyepiece Caddy Set that attaches to the Tele-Pod head and holds up to five eyepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tele-Pod can also be used with other brands of small refractors. However, the internal width between the vertical sides of the Tele-Pod yoke measures only 5.25\", so the maximum width of the mounting rings of another brand of telescope must be smaller than this measurement. In addition, the buyer should keep in mind that the fore-and-aft mounting platform dimension of the yoke is limited and would require a user-supplied adapter plate to install dual mounting rings on the single 1\/4\"-20 thread hole available in the Tele-Pod yoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Details: \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e7.5 lbs.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"TeleVue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40221640687689,"sku":"TVTP","price":606.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/7974\/9961\/files\/TPM_3015_TelePod_AdvancedMount_v2.jpg?v=1723750533"},{"product_id":"clutch-knob-set-pair","title":"Losmandy Clutch Knob Set (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese two machined aluminum knobs replace the standard right ascension and declination clutch collars on the GM-8, G-9 and G-11 mounts.

It allows you to collimate the optical axis of the TV-60 precisely with the optical axis of the larger scope so that the two scopes are aimed at the same point in the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease refer to the close-up image above to identify the parts of the mount (click on the small image to display a close-up, if you have not already done so). The mount component labeled \"Dovetail\" has a long arm that fits into the X-Y axis adjuster (the block with the knobs attached at the left of the image). The end of the arm can be seen protruding from the lower left end of the X-Y adjuster. The X-Y adjuster bolts into the finderscope dovetail that is cut into the ring mount of all 3\" and larger TeleVue refractors, using the two labeled bolts seen protruding from the underside of the adjuster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemoving the \"stop screws\" on the end of the TV-60 dovetail (and the \"stop screw\" on the X-Y mount's dovetail) lets you install the TV-60 on the X-Y mount's dovetail. Remember to reinstall the dovetail's stop screw for safety after the TV-60 is installed on the dovetail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large knob in the X-Y adjuster, labeled \"Lock Knob,\" acts as a pivot for the 2 horizontal adjustment screws that move the dovetail with its attached TV-60 from side to side (only the adjustment screw nearest the camera is shown). The lock knob simultaneously acts as the lock knob for the vertical \"jack screw\" adjustment that moves the dovetail and TV-60 up and down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy adjusting the lock knob and various screws while looking alternately through your scope and the TV-60, you can precisely aim the optical axis of the TV-60 at the same point in the sky at which your main scope is aimed. Removing the dovetail's stop screw quickly lets you remove the TV-60 for use on a photo tripod for terrestrial observing or casual astronomy when you don't have time to take your main scope outside. If the adjustment screws are not disturbed while your TV-60 is off the main scope, the TV-60 should be correctly collimated when it is again mounted on the X-Y mount's dovetail. If it is not, a few quick tweaks of the collimating screws will soon have it lined up properly again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis X-Y adjuster is also available with the appropriate adapters (our part #TVXYC) to allow the TV-60 to be used as a superfinder on Celestron and Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Details: \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\" class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data\"\u003e5 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"TeleVue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40221649633353,"sku":"TVXYA","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/7974\/9961\/files\/AAM_0001_AccessoryX-YMount.jpg?v=1723754113"},{"product_id":"adapter-to-use-televue-scopes-on-vixen-style-altazimuth-and-equatorial-mounts","title":"TeleVue Adapter to Use TeleVue Scopes on Vixen-Style Altazimuth and Equatorial Mounts","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis TeleVue adapter is shaped to fit Vixen-style dovetail mounts - such as the Astro-Tech Voyager altazimuth mount; Celestron Advanced series and Meade LXD-75 go-to mounts; and Vixen Porta altazimuth, Sphinx go-to, and Great Polaris equatorial mounts.

This keeps the hollow metal legs of the heavy G11 mount and tripod from sinking into the soft ground from the weight of your scope as the night progresses. They also protect the anodizing on the bottom of the legs when the scope is set up on a hard surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feet also help to reduce telescope tripod vibration times for undisturbed high power viewing and imaging. Telescope vibrations can be caused by windy conditions, by ground vibrations (from people walking near the scope or nearby traffic), or by the simple act of touching the scope to focus. They result in reduced image quality, as your high-powered images are blurred as they dance around in the eyepiece until the normal telescope vibrations damp out to zero. While this is less of an issue with the G11 mount, due to its weight with a typical optical tube installed, vibrations can still be a problem in some situations. These Losmandy feet work to minimize any such problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circular Losmandy tripod feet are made of an injection-molded, somewhat flexible, but fairly hard plastic-like material. There is an oval recess cut into the top surface of each foot to snugly accept a G11 tripod leg. The walls of the recess are slanted to match the angle of the leg, so each foot can only fit on its tripod leg in one specific orientation. The pads fit between the bottom of the tripod legs and the ground to isolate the tripod from ground contact and soak up vibrations. The tripod feet work on any hard or reasonably hard surface - grass, dirt, concrete, asphalt, wood, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an added bonus, the tripod feet glow green in the dark, so that passers-by won't trip over the black legs of your tripod in the dark.
