Ambermile - Custom and Precision In One Place

Important Announcement, Please Read

Ambermile designs for the AmPuck, the DTM3 and the 3D balance weights are now being made without permission by a number of manufacturers both here in Europe and in the US. This list may well increase in the future to include ALL Ambermile designed items on this website and there is little I can do about this... As a small concern, I am unable to fund the necessary litigation to stop this happening and so it is with regret that I have to now withdraw the custom adapter service. This service was in the past subsidised by the sales of Ambermile-designed equipment but I can no longer do this because of the revenue lost to sales of illegal copies. I hope you understand, and realise that this decision has been forced upon me by those unscrupulous enough to want to see the smaller manufacturer squeezed out of the market - and the corresponding future lack of choice and new designs. Every item for sale here has been designed by Ambermile for sale exclusively by Ambermile and the dealers mentioned. Be aware that currently, NONE of the designs on this website are licensed to be made elsewhere, so if you see any that are not Ambermile products then you will know that you are looking at/buying a fake and thereby contributing to the ultimate demise of the amateur astronomy accessory market - both in price and choice.

Ambermile is a fast-growing engineering workshop in South Norfolk making mainly parts for the Astronomy community - both professional and amateur.

Do you find you need to mount two scopes at once but fitting them one on top of the other means too much weight needed to counterbalance? The answer is to mount them side by side of course! Ambermile makes the DTM, designed to take two scopes on a Synta-type dovetail. Originally the Ambermile DTM was made in three parts but the current models are machined from a single aluminium billet making them much stiffer in use. They are drilled to allow the fitting of the new wave of telescope mounting "feet" that would otherwise either get scratched or you would need a camera mount - fitting bolts included, as are allen keys! You can fit your PST safely in any of three positions or even mount a camera in the centre. Finished in a clear anodised coat they will match any scope/mount and fit most Vixen/Synta mounts.

Need to convert you HEQ5/EQ6 to a Losmandy dovetail fitting? Scared by the price of others? Want one that fits and looks good too? Ambermile makes the AmPuck, which replaces the standard EQ head on the above mounts and allows the fitting of a William Optics Combi Clamp (available from Ian King Imaging). CNC machined from billet aluminium and Steadfast^TM black anodised for colour permanence. Comes with four bolts to attach the Combi Clamp.

Ever had trouble getting your EQ mount level? You get the tripod sorted then when the mount goes on - all over the place! Why not ask about the Ambubble, which sits between the mount and the tripod and gives you a clear indication of mount level. Also helps the Az axis to rotate smoother and now has a compass as well! Steadfast^TM black anodised for colour permanence and available for late October.
