Bracket for Alt Az mode for a Vixen SP DX (possibly other mounts too).
The Vixen SP DX isn't made for alt az mode use but I wanted to use it that way with goto anyway. The mount is fitted with Astro Gadget EQStarProII goto kit with their steppermotors.
The reason for this bracket is the fact that in alt az configuration the whole head can still tilt. The bracket prevents this tilt and so holds the head stable.
The bracket has a tapered hole for a (long) M10 bolt where the bolt drives into the plastic of the bracket.
Instructions for Vixen SP DX:
Remove the M10 bolts on the north side.
Remove the M10 bolt on the south side of the head.
Tilt the head all the way to the north side.
Unscrew one of the bolts of the triangle shaped bracket which is held in place by 2 short bolts.
Tilt the head all the way to the north side so it is in alt az configuration.
Unscrew the second bolt of the triangle shaped bracket and remove the trangular bracket. Keep this safe and marked for later use in EQ mode or when you sell the mount.
Place the alt az bracket on the north side, see photo’s.
Use one of the screws of the triangular bracket in the upper slot to bolt the bracket to the mount.
Screw the longest of the two M10 bolt into the north side in the bracket.
You’re done.
