    Fits like a glove!
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019*

For anyone with a Celestron NextStar 8Se  SCT, have no doubts, this dovetail base fits perfect. First, the two machine screws come off the optical tube factory finder base. Secondly place the new base in position and replace the factory screws into the tube. Wala, your done. The two screws supplied with the new finder base must be for other applications. My red dot finder lined up better than ever. The horizontal range is enough to line up objects perfectly, the vertical is close enough for all practical purposes. I like having two hold downs screws V.S. one. Its feels more secure. I'm totally pleased with this finder base. Get one, you won't regret.

    Great base for DIY Finderscope Mounts
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2017*

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!

    WARNING - DOES NOT FIT CELESTRON EVOLUTION TELESCOPES
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2020*

This product does not fit the Celestron Nexstar Evolution series telescopes. The screws that come with it are the wrong size and the holes in the shoe itself are just a bit too narrow to fit the mount holes in the OTA tube.  I searched verrry carefully for a looong time, talked to numerous people for a product that would work and finally decided on this one but nope, none of that work was enough.How hard can it be in this world to find a small accessory for a telescope? Celestron was no help, has no information on such accessories. The people at OPT couldn't tell me what worked - only suggest "possibilities." Various YouTube telescope guys couldn't tell me what to use or get. I looked and looked over numerous variations of this simple part to see if it fit my set up. No website had dimension info that was sufficient. Other websites carried the same parts with some information of how it worked with some telescopes but not my telescope which is supposedly a very popular, common brand and model.Nobody knows nothing about anything because there are so many versions of everything that constantly change or get discontinued.  There are so many standards that nothing is standard and no one can keep track of what works with what. Sometimes you're lucky, often you're not. Today I'm not.Good luck finding what works for your particular project.
