Zenith star 71 and finderscope bracket?

[Vega]

A friend of mine has just bought a WO Zenithstar 71 and needs to get his Orion Starshoot autoguider attached to the rig somehow. Its normally held in a finderscope bracket. The zenithstar does not have a finderscope bracket socket anywhere on it.

Does anyone know how to solve this dilemma?

Any help most welcomed

Cheers

This fits on the WO Star 71 so may fit the Zenithstar.

Email FLO they will know

The WO scopes and their clones have a threaded screw hole on the body of the focuser. It's usually filled with a blank plastic plug or a hex screw. The WO compatible finder bases (as linked to by Dave above) screw into this hole in the focuser body.

There is a finder base for the ZS71 but from memory was as rare as hens teeth so I went the DIY route with a modded 11mm gun rail.
