Astromania Universal Dovetail Base for Finder Scope - Ideal for Installation ...

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

Works great

Used to mount a 60mm guide scope to my Celestron 8SE SCT. Screw holes aren’t quite right but I could get them tight enough to not have any problems. Holds steady and has been working out great.

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.

I bought this for my Celestron Astromaster 114EQ Newtonian Telescope! The telescope came with a Red Dot Finder, which was plastic, extremely opaque, and difficult to use. I decided I was going to buy another finderscope for it, but I needed a way to mount it to the telescope, since the Celestron Astromaster 114EQ had it's fiderscope permanently mounted. I bought a Celestron Starpointer Pro and this Dovetail Base for it and went to work. After removing the old Red Dot Finder, I drilled a couple of holes into my telescope and attached this Dovetail Base to it. This Universal Dovetail mount was a perfect fit for both my telescope and the Celestron Starpointer Pro Finderscope that I purchased for it. Now I can finally spend less time trying to find things, and spend more time actually looking at the objects in the night sky! Plus there is the added benefit that now I can change the finderscope at my own leisure, if I feel inclined to do so in the future!

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.

Light weight, easy to install, grips finder scope well.

Solid metal. Good machining of parts.

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

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.

Installed easily and mounted Celestron 51635 Star Pointer to base with no issues. Good stable base.
