    I wanted to mount a guide scope on my Rasa 8 and this fits perfectly. I like how this clamp has two screws to hold the guide scope. Id assume this would fit any SCT thats 8 as well.

    This was for a C8 finder scope and the spread for the mounting screws was perfect.

    I use this with my Celestron C6 for mounting the ASIAIR PRO. The natural curve matches my C6 perfectly. Quick install, lightweight and quality materials have made this quick release my top pick!!

    Was perfect to mount an ASIair Pro to a Celestron Edge HD8.

    Perfect finder shoe for 8 SCT scope. I used this on my Celestron CPC800 and found that the elongated mounting holes were just shy by about 1-2 mm to match up with the scope. The shoe is made of relatively soft metal and I simply used a round file to extend one hole slightly. The two set screws ensure that the guidescope Ill use is firmly in place and wont move during set up and tear down. I looked long and hard for a suitable shoe and this one is it, albeit with a minor effort on my part. I suspect it fits perfectly on other 8 scopes. Im quite happy with my selection.

    Looks expensive and suited for high cost equipment.

    Worked 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)

    Great price, nice oversize thumbscrews, solid aluminum. 5 stars!

    I 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.

The base can be used on telescope that do not themselves have a base, or be used in other different position on the telescope as an additional base.

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.
