William Optics Vixen-Style 290mm Prism Rail red (71285)

Prism rails, also known as dovetail bars, are mainly used to mount telescopes onto astronomical mounts. They can also be used to attach additional accessories to the telescope tube, such as a camera or an internal expansion joint. There are two main standards for these rails in astronomy. The first is the narrower Vixen standard, created by the Japanese manufacturer Vixen. The second is the wider Losmandy standard, which is 3 inches wide and intended for heavier optical equipment.

Description

Prism rails, also known as dovetail bars, are mainly used to mount telescopes onto astronomical mounts. They can also be used to attach additional accessories to the telescope tube, such as a camera or an internal expansion joint.

There are two main standards for these rails in astronomy. The first is the narrower Vixen standard, created by the Japanese manufacturer Vixen. The second is the wider Losmandy standard, which is 3 inches wide and intended for heavier optical equipment. The Arca-Swiss standard, which comes from photography and is used for mounting cameras on tripods, is also sometimes seen.

Most astronomical mounts are made to fit one of these two standards. Medium and large mounts often have dual mounting saddles that accept both types.
