Astromania Finder Scope Mount Universal Dovetail Base for Optical Telescope

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.

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

Very nicely machined and works well.

Works great

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.

I mounted the “Astromania Universal Dovetail Base Finder Scope” to my Orion Giant View BT-100 Binoculars. I originally consulted Orion Telescopes to find out if could recommended a mount so as to be able to attach finder scope directly to the binoculars. Unfortunately no one at Orion had a clue for recommended mounts that would attach to this Binocular. After a bit of searching, I found this product on Amazon. I will say that this mount attached perfectly to the handle of BT-100 Giant Binocular. I also purchased the Astromania Finder Deluxe Telescope Reflec Sight which attaches perfectly to the Astromania Dovetail Base. Perfect combination of mount and sighting device to assist in pointing the Giant Binoculars to any distant target (both terrestrial or astronomical uses). I highly recommend this high quality product. See attached photos.

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.
