Description

The Ascend - Balancing Accessory for Planewave A200 Equatorial Mount.

Now one person can easily balance a CDK on the A200 mount using the Ascend accessory. The Ascend can attach to either the front or rear of the A200 dovetail clamp and precisely slide the CDK forward or back for accurate balance. Ascend uses a long pushrod to safely balance in Declination with just a turn of a bolt.

Ascend also includes an integrated dovetail bar that can hold additional counterweights when switching out heavy equipment for a lighter imaging or visual setup.

Harper W. ★★★★★

Finally I can balance my CDK on the A200 without needing a second person — the Ascend attaches to either side and makes the whole process smooth. It's solidly built and locks in place exactly where I need it.

Henry Q. ★★★★★

Setting up the A200 by myself always meant a frustrating back-and-forth, but with this accessory attached to the side, I leveled the CDK in a single go. The fact that it mounts to either side makes the whole process feel ridiculously straightforward. My back thanks me every session.

Kevin X. ★★★★★

Finally, balancing my CDK on the A200 mount is a one-person job instead of a frustrating two-person ordeal. The attachable design made setup straightforward, and it locks firmly into place. This accessory has saved me so much time under the stars.
