Why aren ProtoStar curved mounts available for (most) truss-style telescopes?
Any secondary support needs to be anchored to a solid structural component of the telescope. For most truss-style upper cages the only attachment points available are the four struts pipes. Their location (i.e., 90º spacing) does not coincide with where the curved mount needs to attach — at least if you want it to be a 180-degree arch. If your upper cage design uses a solid tube section instead, you probably can use our curved mount. If you have any questions, it is best to call us before ordering. Important note: Never attach the curved mount to the thin plastic liner (i.e., “Kydex”) inside many upper cages. It is not strong enough to support the secondary mounting.
