OPTEC-3600 Telescope Adapters

A work in progress...

We are developing a full product catalog to make your instrument and adapter selection even easier. With hundreds of adapters we will work to place them on our new website as quickly as possible. In the meantime, don't hesitate to call for assistance.

OPTEC-3600 Dovetail Mount

Telescope Adapters for the TCF-S3", Pyxis 3" and IFW 3"

Optec 3.6" Dovetail Mount

The OPTEC-3600 circular dovetail mount is used for the large TCF-S3 focuser, Pyxis 3" rotator, the IFW-3" or the Perseus 4-port Instrument Selector. These mounts allow easy connections from most any telescope. One side has a telescope-specific thread or dovetail and the other side presents the 3.6-inch diameter Optec dovetail mount. If your scope or accessory is not listed, do not hesitate to call. We are constantly adding new adapters to our catalog.
