See below for 9" NJP Dovetail Saddle

NJP Saddle Adaptor

This adaptor will allow you to use a variety of saddles and rings on your Takahashi NJP mount. It mounts to the NJP with four flat-head socket screws (included). Threaded holes are provided for attaching my saddles.

Note: This adaptor will mount the saddle at a angle that is rotated 45 degrees from normal position. As a result, the mechanical setting circles will be off by 45 degrees. This is because the mounting holes are in a similar pattern to the NJP mounting holes. If they were aligned, they would be on top of each other.

Threaded holes are also provided for Takahashi EM saddles and ring clamshells. However, because this is a low profile adaptor, there is only about 5mm of thread depth for the EM holes. So, they should only be used with small light OTAs. The Astro-Physics saddle holes are much deeper and will hold heavy OTAs.

It has mounting holes to fit the mount directly without the need for an adaptor. The saddle is 9" long and is anodized clear.

Shipping costs are figured for individual items as though ordered separately. Ordering several items together will reduce costs, but cannot be calculated by the shopping cart. Where there are savings, I'll issue a refund after the order is processed. This does not apply to counterweights which are usually shipped in individual boxes.

International Orders: please contact me for an estimate on shipping costs. Please provide your shipping address and phone number. I will need the phone number for customs, and often forget to ask for it until I start filling out the customs paperwork. We ship USPS EMS. Payment by Bank Wire Transfer is preferred for international orders, although PayPal.com will work for some countries.

Sales Tax will automatically be added to orders from California residents.
