Buckeyestargazer has introduced its newest Wanderer Astro mounting solutions which include the Wanderer Box and Dew Terminator Brackets. These brackets and attachments enable secure mounting of WandererBox powerboxes on various rails, saddles, and tripods.

Buckeyestargazer's new range of Wanderer Astro mounting solutions include the WandererBox and Dew Terminator Brackets. These mounting systems are now available and offer users the ability to securely attach their WandererBox devices to various types of dovetail bars, finder shoes, and tripod legs. This product line is designed for compatibility with a wide range of equipment setups, providing options for mounting on different rails and tripods.

The system consists of two components: a bracket designed for each specific WandererBox model, and an attachment that allows the bracket to be mounted to a variety of rails, bars, or tripods. These Wanderer Astro mounting solutions are specifically tailored for astrophotographers who need flexible mounting options for their powerbox units, such as the Dew Terminator, Box Lite, Box Plus, Box Pro, and Box Ultimate.

Wanderer Box and Dew Terminator Brackets

There are multiple bracket options, each designed to fit specific WandererBox models. These brackets are essential for securing the powerbox units in place and providing a stable connection to different attachment types. The available bracket models include:

  • WBox-DLP-Bracket: This bracket is designed to fit the Wanderer Dew Terminator, Box Lite V3, and Box Plus V3 models.
  • WBoxProV3-Bracket: Built to accommodate the Wanderer Box Pro V3 unit.
  • WBoxUltimateV2-Bracket: Designed for the Wanderer Box Ultimate V2 model.
     

Each bracket provides a solid foundation for connecting the powerbox units to various attachment options, enabling users to customize their setups.

Attachment options for different mounting needs

There are a variety of attachment options that can be paired with the brackets, allowing users to mount their equipment on different types of rails or saddles. These attachments include:

  • LSaddle: This attachment clamps onto Losmandy/"D" rails, providing a secure connection for mounting on Losmandy-style dovetail bars.
  • VSaddle: Designed to fit Vixen-type bars or rails, the VSaddle attachment allows users to mount their equipment on Vixen-compatible rigs.
  • VBar: A Vixen-type bar that fits into a V-type clamp, offering another mounting option for Vixen-style setups.
  • ADM-MDS-Saddle: This attachment is designed to clamp onto MDS-style bars, adding further versatility for those using this mounting system.
  • ArcaSwiss-Saddle: Designed for Arca-Swiss rails, this attachment provides a secure connection for mounting on Arca-Swiss-compatible rigs.
  • ArcaSwiss-Bar: This bar fits into Arca-Swiss clamps, offering another option for those using Arca-Swiss equipment.
  • Synta-Bar (available in both 20mm and 50mm versions): These bars slide into a Synta finder base, with two height options (20mm or 50mm) to accommodate different needs.


Tripod leg attachments for various sizes

The Wanderer Astro mounting system includes options for attaching the brackets to tripod legs of various diameters. These tripod leg attachments are available in several sizes, ranging from 1.00 inches to 3.00 inches in diameter. Specific tripod leg attachment options include:

  • Tripod-1.00: Designed for tripods with 1.00" diameter legs.
  • Tripod-1.25: Suitable for 1.25" legs found on tripods such as the iOptron SmartStar, iPano, SkyGuider Pro, and SkyTracker.
  • Tripod-1.50: Compatible with 1.50" legs, such as those found on the ZWO TC40, iOptron ZEQ25, and CEM25 tripods.
  • Tripod-2.00: Fits tripods with 2.00" legs, including models like the Skywatcher AZ EQ6 and EQ6-RPro, as well as the iOptron MiniTower-Pro and Celestron AVX Tripod.

Additional tripod and pier attachments

There are also specialized options for specific tripod and pier models. These include:

  • Tripod-TriPier: Designed for the iOptron Tri-Pier (except the Tri-Pier 360), providing compatibility with this unique mounting system.
  • Tripod-LosLW-v1: Fits the Losmandy LW Tripod manufactured before 2011.
  • Tripod-LosLW-v2: Made for Losmandy LW Tripods produced in 2011 and later.
  • Pier-APEagle: Built for the Astro-Physics Eagle Pier, offering a stable attachment option for this popular pier model.
     

The modular design on the Wanderer Astro mounting solutions allows users to customize their setups without needing to purchase entirely new systems. For instance, if a user initially buys a bracket with a Vixen-style saddle but later transitions to a Losmandy rail system, they can purchase an additional LSaddle attachment to fit their new setup without replacing the bracket.
