Extra shoe for my red dot
It works great. It holds my red dot finder scope solid.

Great for telescopes!
I wanted to mount my camera to my telescope (not looking through it, just on top of it) and this is the ideal piece to do it! Curved bottom fits any telescope 5" and above (there may be a small gap in the center on larger telescopes). It has two set screws instead of one (which other mounts have) for a more secure hold. Fits Celestron telescopes perfectly (they already have mounting screws)!

Nice but small
Seems nicely made and finished, and fits my Intes MK67 without modification. Note that this is narrower than Orion finder shoes and will not accommodate those accessories. This fits things like cheap laser pointer brackets.

SCT Dovetail Mount
Nice way to attach a guide scope to your SCT. Well made, with two tension screws. I did have to use a longer set of screws to attach it where the finger scope was attached. Using the screws holding on the finder barely caught the threads and I didn’t want to chance damaging the threads or cross threading them.

Perfect fit on the Celestron 8SE SCT
Perfect fit on the Celestron 8SE - replacing the existing red dot with a much better red dot to support planetary imaging.

Great and worked!
Worked perfectly for a Meade 102ED APO refractor.

Perfect for a Celestron SCT
I really like the way this fits the curvature of the Celestron SCT. This insures solid contact as well as a good fit. I've tried a couple of the straighterones and didn't like the slight gap it would have. This is also heavier than I expected. Overall I solid product and I would recommend.

Se ajusta perfectamente a un Celestron C8.
Lo instale en 30 segundos, los tornillos coincidían perfectamente y la curvatura de la pieza se acoplaba perfectamente al cuerpo del C8 Edge. Muy robusto. Durará toda la vida. Muy recomendable.
