Astromania Finder Scope Mount Universal Dovetail Base, Telescope Dovetail Base Compatible with Optical Telescope, Quick Release Aluminum Base Ideal for Installation of Red Dot Optical Finderscope

This is exactly what I needed to attach to my Celestron Evolution OTA. It's well made. It now securely holds the mount for my astronomical laser pointer.

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

Good build quality, but screw holes were not wide enough for my explore scientific telescope

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.

On time delivery and exactly what was advertised. Works GREAT!

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!

Wrong dimensions for RASA 8

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.
