Simply attach one to each of your telescopes, or telescope tube rings, and you'll be able to swap between your telescope optical tubes quickly and easily. Once you've attached your telescope or telescope tube rings to the Dovetail Mounting Plate, you can change telescopes on the mount without using tools!
