| This is a spare dovetail mounting shoe for use with the Losmandy LQRB 50mm and LQRB90 90mm quick release finderscope brackets. It allows you to use one finderscope on two different telescopes. The shoe is slotted to fit the varying spacing of the finderscope mounting holes on the rear cell of 7” and larger Meade and Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes. The shoe can be used on other telescopes, such as reflectors, if you are willing to drill mounting holes in the telescope tube to hold it. The broad machined dovetail surfaces on the mounting shoe assure that the finder will be accurately collimated when it is switched from scope to scope. The bracket comes with the appropriate hardware to mount on both Celestron and Meade rear cells. Mounting on a reflector will require user-supplied nuts, bolts, and washers. |
