Attach Mounting Plate (purchased separately)

Several mounting plates are available for the 1200 mount. If you own more than one instrument, you may need more than one plate. Follow the appropriate directions for the plate(s) that you have.

18" FLAT MOUNTING PLATE (FP1800)

This plate is 18" long and 7.5" at its widest point in the center. The width of the plate tapers to 5.5" at each end. Four pairs of keyhole slots that measure 3.2" between centers are provided. The two inner pairs are 13.75" apart and the outer two pairs are 17" apart. You can drill additional holes to suit your needs. This plate also fits the 900 German Equatorial.

Attach this plate with six 1/4-20 x 1" flat head socket cap screws at the locations indicated by the filled holes on the diagram.

15” RIBBED MOUNTING PLATE (1200RP15)

This plate is 14.75” long, 7.75” at its widest point 5” at each end and 1” thick. The underside of the plate is carved into a ribbed pattern to maximize the strength and minimize the weight - 3 lbs. A pair of keyhole slots that measure 3.2” between centers are provided at each end. The distance between the pairs is 13.75”.

Attach this plate with six 1/4-20 x 3/4“ socket head cap screws at the locations indicated by the filled holes on the diagram. Note that the plate is asymmetrical. Attach the plate so that the long end points toward the sky.

24" RIBBED MOUNTING PLATE (1200RP) For larger instruments, the ribbed structure of this plate provides the maximum support. Our machinist begins with thick aluminum plate and carves a strong rib structure. The final result is 1.5" thick, 24" long and 7.6" at its widest point. The width of the plate tapers to 5.5" at each end. A pair of keyhole slots that measure 3.2" between centers are provided at each end. The distance between these pairs of holes is 23". Due to the ribbed structure, you may not be able to drill additional holes for non-Astro-Physics mounting rings. The plate weighs an

amazing 9.5 lbs. for its size. This is a view of the rib structure on the underside of the 24" plate.

Attach this plate with six 1/4-20 x1" socket head cap screws at the location indicated by the filled holes on the diagram.

DOVETAIL FOR LOSMANDY D SERIES PLATE (DOVELM) This Astro-Physics plate attaches to the 400, 600E, 900 and 1200 mounts. If you already own one of the Losmandy DAP series (fits Astro-Physics refractors), DC series (for Celestron 8", 11" or 14" SCTs) or DM series (for Meade 8", 10" and 12" SCTs) plates, this is the mounting plate for you.

Attach this plate with four 1/4-20 x 3/4" socket head cap screws and two 1/4-20x5/8" flat head socket cap screws at the locations indicated by the filled holes on the diagram.
