Questions & Answers

How many screw holes does a screw have? wide x 14mm high The c is 30mm, and I also need the Can you provide me with a CDR ?

About 5 mm is the diameter of the bracket holes. The 33mm cylindrical size is It appears to be slightly less than 35mm, but I am certain that it is more than 30mm, based on my recent measurements taken in the dusk. Thank you for your help.

Do you know if this is compatible with a Meade LX3 ?

The answer my husband gave me was Based on the Amazon page, the following is described This Schmidt-Borne IR pointer adapter can be used for attaching an Orion finder scope bracket, a reflex sight bracket, or a green laser pointer bracket. There are Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes (SCTs) up to 11 inches in aperture*br>The Meade lx3 2120 is a ten inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope She can use the bracket as long as she has a standard dovetail base on the scope she wants to attach. When picking a bracket, you should ensure the screw slots are compatible with the screw holes on the mirror housing on a Schmidt-Buck in two ways A cassegrain approach. As far as I can tell, my bracket was custom-made to fit my celestron SCT 11". So, I bet the bracket will work for her 10" device.

What if my Celestron SE8 has this problem?

The answer is yes, according to me. The screws holding the back cover to the tube are used. You must find a location that you are comfortable with, remove the screws, then place the dovetail on top of the screws, and reinstall them. That's all there is to it.

Do you know whether this will work on Nexstar 4SE? As a result of buying the 7214 dovetail base, I didn't have the screws to ?

Screws can be placed anywhere from 15mm to 40mm apart with the slotted holes on the 07215. Whether this range applies to the screw spacing on the 4se can be determined by measuring the available screw spacing on the machine. I wish you the best of

My NexStar Evolution 8 fits in this case
5/5

The Orion 6X30 right angle finder scope I got this to transfer to my Celestron NexStar Evolution 8 was too big. There are no gaps in the mounting holes, and it is tightly fastened. It was a great idea to reuse the black screws from the OTA instead of the shiny nickel plated screws that came with the I like how it looks and how it works. A cost of $32 with shipping is included. I'm so sorry!.

This is an excellent product made of metal that is substantial and made from casted metal
5/5

I would like it to fit my Celestron NexStar 6SE as if it were The assembly turned out to be very secure when I mounted the finder scope in the dovetail.

A finicky animal
3/5

I'm fairly sure the small screw used to secure the momentary on/off switch of most laser pointers eventually falls out and gets lost. However, it appears that it holds the pointer itself well and allows it to be aligned accurately That's all I have to say. I think it's fine all in all.

The C8 he works on was from the 80's
5/5

It replaced the stock 6x30 finder that came with my Celestron C8 from the 1980s. It's a find.

CELESTRON C5 IS NOT ABLE TO USE IT
3/5

You need to be This one won't work on Celestron C5. Don't get your hopes up. I don't think it fits. As part of the live-chat with Orion online support, I specifically asked the lady if the product worked with Celestron C5, to which she responded, "Yes, it does operate with Celestron C5". In reality, however, it does not. I bought it from Amazon, so that's a good thing. Please contact us. If I need to return it, I can easily do so.
