| Ascend – Mount Balancing Accessory for A200 and L-Series Mounts | Now, one person can easily balance a CDK on the L-Series mounts using the Ascend accessory! The Ascend can attach to either the front or rear of the #200919 Dovetail Clamp and precisely slide the CDK forward or back for accurate balance. Ascend uses a long pushrod to safely balance in the mount’s declination/altitude axis with the turn of a bolt.

| Visual Adapter – CDK12.5 | This 2.75-2″ visual adapter slides into the Hedrick Focuser that comes standard on the CDK12.5.
- The adapter steps the 2.75″ opening down to 2″ for standard 2″ accessories.
- The adapter also adds some additional spacing to optimize the use of a 2″ diagonal so focus is reached with most eyepieces.
| $160.00 | |
| Finderscope and Mounting Bracket | The back plate on all of the CDK models has four mounting positions for a finder mounting plate.
- The finder mounting plate attaches to the back plate of the telescope and the quick-release finder bracket attaches to the mounting plate.
- If the telescope is used on a German Equatorial mount it may be convenient to purchase two finder scopes, one for the east and one for the west side of the telescope.
- The finder scope is a Baader 10×60 Varios with mounting rings and L- bracket.

| SecureFit Spacers For CDK 14,17,20, & 24 | When you need a secure way to attach a CCD camera at the image plane of a CDK telescope, the Secure Fit Spacers get you the optimal back focus spacing. These spacers attach via four screws to the PlaneWave Hedrick and IRF90 Focusers. When coupled with a PlaneWave SecureFit CCD Adapter, they practically eliminate slippage, movement, and equipment drops. The spacers come in eight different lengths: 2.1″, 3.8″, 4.5″, 5.2″, 5.9″, 6.75″, 7.5″, and 8.25″.
These spacers are made for the CDK14, 17, 20, and 24 and do not work with the CDK12.5. The CDK12.5 Secure Fit Spacers have a different bore size.
