You have to remove the screws from the finder. And you can install their small screws including with it. It will fit as best.

Works perfectly for my spotting scope.

This piece is well-made, and it worked perfectly on my 8″ Newtonian for use in mounting a finder scope. Thank you!

Ordered this to mount the SvBONY SV182 right angle finder scope on my Celestron Nextstar Evolution 8. This was advertised to “Fits factory drilled holes on Celestron…”. Needless to say that the mounting hole spacing was about 1 mm off the spacing on the SCT. Forcing would have stripped the threads on the SCT and possibly snapped the screw. About 15 minutes of work with the Dremel on both slots gave me the clearance needed. After that all was hunky-dory. 3 stars because I had to modify to fit.Update: Received feedback from Astromania where they identify their B07JGZV9YQ or B07HHWGKS8 as having hole spacing that should fit the larger SCTs and not require any type of modification. Worth the slight extra expense to avoid any issues. Kicking up the rating to 4 for the customer service.

Used to mount a 60mm guide scope to my Celestron 8SE SCT. Screw holes aren’t quite right but I could get them tight enough to not have any problems. Holds steady and has been working out great.

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. IfI 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.
