This versatile aluminum dovetail base is designed to accept any Orion finder scope bracket or EZ Finder reflex sight bracket. It’s an ideal base for custom installation of a finder scope on telescopes not already equipped with a compatible base. The Orion Dovetail Base for Finder Scopes features a large thumbscrew lock to secure the finder scope bracket in place. Thanks to the size of the knurled thumbscrews, you can easily attach and detach your finder device, even when wearing heavy gloves.

The Orion Dovetail Base for Finder Scopes is designed for use on any telescope optical tube except for Schmidt-Cassegrain models. The dovetail base makes it easy to install a finder scope, or an additional finder, to any diameter refractor, reflector, Dobsonian reflector and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope tubes. Includes mounting hardware.

Not too much to say, it is what it is.
It does make your addition to your telescope look professional. I wanted to pick up this for when I mounted the glp to my dob.
Looks good too.
Pros: matches the finish of dob.
Yes, I recommend this product!

Favorite viewing location:??Northern France
Favorite object to observe:??Jupiter
Pros: easy to install, can remove my sight easily for transport
Cons: none
Yes, I recommend this product!

The included mounting screws and nuts mounted this base securely to my tube. I was able to use existing holes from a previous finder, and the shape of this base allowed it to fit snugly even on my smallish tube (5" OD). It holds my Orion finder securely.
Yes, I recommend this product!
