Questar Duplex Telescope
The Questar Duplex telescope is perfect for astronomers with many
interests. It is a very versatile instrument which has the performance, and
convenience of a portable scope. Plus the Duplex has all the tracking
abilities of a standard telescope.
The Duplex telescope's Optical Tube is attached to the Questar Fork Mount
so as to allow a simple disconnection of the optical tube from the mount.
This allows the Duplex to be more compact, have greater versatility and be a
lightweight alternative to bringing a complete fork mounted telescope to an
observing location.
The disconnection is accomplished by using a special fork mount Saddle
which increases the weight very little but allows the quick detachment of
the Optical Tube from the base of the Fork Mount with a single bolt. No
tools are needed to do this with the Questar Duplex. This makes it very user
friendly and flexible.
