Finder scopes

[Karlos]

I'm looking to change my RDF for a normal magnified finder scope. My current finder has two holes in the base that fit over two bolts that I then screw/fasten down with two nuts. I don't want to sound stupid but this is referred to as a Two-hole finder? I'm curious to know as there is a few on Astroboot, but from the picture I can't clarify if they'll fit yet the descriptions states they are two-hole finders, I should be okay right?

Karlos, I'm not entirely sure, although you could always contact Scope'n'skies about the dimensions for the finder-scope? Their email is info@scopesnskies.com

They might provide you with the necessary info?

Hope this helps?

Good luck!

Many bases have 2 holes but I guess that there is no standard for either the hole diameter nor the hole separation.

In other words I would half expect that the 2 holes on a Skywatcher could be different to the 2 holes on a William Optics and so on with Taks, Astro-Professional, TMB's, Orion's etc.

Thanks for the replies, I'll email them to clarify this, to be on the safer side.

OK. I hope that they are able to answer your question and you get a satisfactory result regarding the finder scope..
