Bresser finder shoe

[Barry-W-Fenner]

Morning all,

Would this finder shoe be a direct replacement for my Bresser AR102s? - Short term I would like to fit my right angle finder.  I dont want to drill or modify the scope if possible.

I think the mounting holes are in different places Baz (that one is for Skywatcher type finder bases) so you need something like this:

The elongated mounting slots give you the flexibility to match the mounting holes in the scope tube.

There are less expensive ones around than the Baader if you search around.

Baz, I have a suitable shoe but you'll need screws to mount it to your tube.  You probably already have these.

PM me your address and I'll post it to you.

Thanks for you help John, Much appreciated. That is ideally what I would prefer as I dont want to do any thing to the scope. The thought of drilling or modifying it scares me 🙂
