Finder mount

[PatrickO]

Can anyone tell me what sort of finder will fit on this?

I prefer a red dot finder.

Thanks

Baader Skysurfer III comes with multiple foot adaptors, I'm sure one would fit. Looks like the Bresser style foot.

That is a Meade / Bresser / Explore Scientific finder mount.

This sort of finder fits it:

You can replace those with a Skywatcher compatible finder mount which will fit a wider range of finders. One of these or something like it:

RVO SCT Universal Finder Base - Rother Valley Optics Ltd

I've replaced the mounts on my two Bresser with generic Synta-style versions from eBay, you can pick them up for as little as £8. To re-use the original screw holes, you need to open up the mount's slots slightly with a needle file, as they're not quite long enough.

I'll take a look. Thanks
