Update September 12 2022: Added CAD Step files. 

 

An adapter to fit onto a 42x48 tripod mount. Uses 8 10-24x0.5" screws and nuts. No supports required. Recommended infill of 20% for a rigid piece. May need some tape to shim the adapter connection to the tripod for a snug fit. 

A dobsonian or equatorial mount is strongly recommended, a standard tripod camera will work with the Hadley. Camera tripods tend to not be rigid or heavy enough to hold a telescope, however I used one with my Hadley for the first week for viewing the Moon. 

Update: Added many common quick release plate sizes. I have only tested the 42x48 size, please let me know if any size is too loose/tight.
