> 24 hourI have a Celestron Nexstar Evo 6 and the mount itself attaches just fine. Nice and secure. The reason I say 4 stars overall instead of 5 is because of a slight difference in the thumbscrews provided versus what is pictured. There is a flange/spacer on the thumbscrews I have that is 2-3mm long. Maybe on any other guide scope the dovetail and these thumbscrews would not be an issue. Unfortunately for me I purchased at the same time the Astromania 60mm Compact Deluxe Finder & Guidescope Kit also found here on Amazon. The dovetail is a bit narrow, and because of this in combination with the space/flange of the thumbscrews, the thumbscrews will not fully secure the guidescope. I only need like literally 1mm more and it would be fine. Regrettably now I need to find slightly longer screws/thumbscrews to secure my guidescope. The real kicker is that this is two Astromania products that are not fully compatible with each other.

> 24 hourI purchased this for a 1990s Celestron C8 SCT. Fit perfect, the mounting allows the screws to be at an angle so they thread in and do not interfere with the guide scope dove tail as my other did. Nicely made and holds scope nice and tight with the dual screws.

> 24 hourThis bracket fits perfectly on a Celestron CPC 1100 Edge HD, perfect! I needed a vixen style bracket for my ZWO guide scope and at this time I dont think could have made a better choice.

> 24 hourWorked great on my Celestron CPC 1100 scope. No modifications required. Simply screwed on with a screwdriver using the existing screws on the scope. Perfect for mounting guidescope (or other accessories)

Precision machined finder shoe base in matte black, made of high strength aluminum with anodizing aluminium process, durable for long time use. The aluminum material makes the product lighter and easier to carry. |
The base forms two linear constraints on each tube radius of 130-400 mm in diameter, which gives maximum stability. The base also carries small guidance/CCD guider without any problem. |
Two large knurled thumbscrews makes it easy to install: Bases feature two large thumbscrew locks to secure your finder scope or reflex sight in place, even while wearing gloves. Just put it on the optical tube and tighten the screws. |
There are two elongated holes on this base and a single countersunk hole for screws up to M5 in the middle. Two screws are on the side of base. The distance between the center points of the screw holes is 24 to 41 mm. |
