Dovetail for Sky-Watcher finder shoe.

[Grierson]

I wonder if anyone has a source of a dovetail to fit a SW finder shoe? I want to mount the ASIAIR on the scope but I don’t mind the length, I can always cut it down. Thanks - John

I’ve used one of these. Perfect for the job although the dovetail only comes with the shoe but cheap enough.

I used one for a low profile finder bracket setup with a pair of rings.

Many thanks, that looks just the job.

Seems as if I was trying to be too clever! The ASIAIR Pro actually comes with a dovetail fitted. 😥

Hope you didn’t get round to ordereing the eBay dovetail yet then.

I did, and it arrives this week. Although £10 is a fair sum even these days I’ll put it in the spares box as I’m sure it will come in handy some day. Nevertheless thanks again for the original pointer. (I ended up ordering the same item you suggested from a UK seller on e-bay.)

Usefull little item to have tucked away in your spares box. 👍🏻
