♦ Ideal for mounting on flat surfaces, for example the top side of tube rings
♦ Safe fixing of the finder or mini guide scope with two screws - no tilting possible
♦ The slotted hole is suitable for M5, 1/4" and M6 countersunk screws.
With this finder base, you can attach your finder bracket to a flat support area, for example to an angular mirror box of a Dobsonian or the flat support surface of a tube ring. The finder shoe has a slotted hole which is suitable for M5 countersunk head screws. In this case the head is completely sunken.
You can also use M6 or 1/4" countersunk head screws, but then the head of the screw protrudes a bit. However, as most finder brackets have a hollow profile at their bottom side, mounting is nevertheless possible. Only finder brackets with flat bottom side cannot be used with M6 screws.
