Finder Scope Dovetail Mounting Base Fit for Schmidt-Cassegrain | Quick Release Aluminum Telescope Base,Vixen Dovetail Bar,For Installation of Guide Scope,Red Dot Optical Finderscope Bases

Nicely made, sadly it did not fit my Celestron C8 SCT (if any one is trying to order it for that one)

Fits my Celestron Nexstar Evolution 8 without any issues, and is allowing me to mount more units on top for astrophotography now. Easy to install, great price, and is pre-drilled in the perfect spots for a secure fit.

Works great

Very nicely machined and works well.

I like this product because it has two ways you can mount the screws side-by-side and up and down. I have multiple telescopes and I’ve ran into this problem. I would like to also add that the screws that hold the finder scope on aren’t oversized. I have had oversized screws that been very easily when bumped.I put this on my svbony 80mm refractor.

Recently bought a telescope and discovered the finder scope was subpar and could not be collimated to the telescope so I bought a HUD optical finder with dovetail mount and ordered this base plate to hold the finder. Bolted up to existing holes. Rock solid. Finder fits like a glove and most importantly the finder is now collimated to the telescope allowing for fast acquisition of objects.

The base is nicely made. I have no idea where. It has no Made in stamp on product or packaging. It comes with two 10-32 mounting screws and nuts. The nuts are black to be non-reflective on the inside of the tube. The screws may be a bit short for some tubes. I mounted this on a 1/4" wall PVC. Because the screws would be too short to get to the inside of the tube to use the blackened nuts, I tapped the two holes. If I was going to mount anything weighing more than a few ounces, this would be a bad idea. If you need to mount on a 1/4" thick or more tube, plan on buying some longer 10-32 screws.

I needed this to add an Orion 9x50 Right Angle finder scope to my Celestron 6SE. The adaptor seemed to be just what I need, a trial fit with the finder scope looked perfect. Time to mount it on the scope. I get the toy finder scope off and go to add the mounting bracket, the slots will work perfectly... but the screws are too big. They're too fat to go into the screw holes on my Celestron scope. So, I try to use the screws that held the original finder scope but they have a rounded head that sticks up preventing my new finder scope from going in the bracket. I've got a mount that appears to be what I need, now I have to make a trip to the hardware store to get a couple of 5 cent screws (hopefully) so I can mount the mount. Why can't it just work???????

I used it to install a red dot finder. It is good quality but the price is a little high in my opinion

Used for a small solar and laser finder

Lastima que no indican las limitaciones de incompatibilidad de este adaptador, con algunos instrumentos. Por ejemplo si el equipo en que lo pretendía utilizar, solamente tiene un (1) tornillo de soporte. No hubo forma de acoplar.

Installed easily on my GT81 refractor using one of the supplied screws. Good fit and quality.

Arrived quickly and in good condition.
